Congratulations to 5th Year Computer Science student, Jed, who was invited to compete in the Bebras National Finals, held online, on Thursday 24th March. Over 8000 students competed in the first round of the competition, 300 students were invited to the Finals.
Jed was invited because he was in the top 50 in the Senior age category. The format for the final was the same as in the first round of the competition - 15 logic questions to answer in 45 minutes.
Unfortunately Jed didn't get placed in the Senior Age category, but it is a superb achievement to make it to the finals and will get a well deserved participation certificate. Well done!
