The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge

How to take part

Only schools and their students who participated in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge can enter the 2026 Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge.

Teachers and Coordinators have been contacted via UK Bebras’s internal emailing system during the challenge with further instructions. If you have missed the emails, log in to your teacher account and check the global messages.

Or you can simply log in to your teacher account and download your students' login details in the Students menu. Once students have their login details, they can go to the login page and start the challenge. 

Home-educated students who participated in the 2025 UK Bebras Challenge have been contacted directly by the UK Bebras team.

About the challenge

The aim of the 45-minute coding challenge is to enhance skills, build confidence, and inspire students to develop programmed solutions to computational thinking problems. 

• The 2026 challenge runs from 2^nd to 31^st March
• Completely free to enter
• Designed to be accessible to all students aged 10+
• There will be two types of challenge available for students to enter:
  • Block-based programming
  • Text-based programming
• Both challenges include two difficulty levels

The challenge must be supervised, so coordinators must be prepared to organise and run the competition in their school.
