Last year six Stratford College students reached the Bebras Computational Thinking National Finals hosted by Maynooth University and administered by the Irish Computer Society. How many Stratford students will reach the National Finals this year?
All Computer Studies students from 2nd to 4th year are participating in the competition this year. For the first time the 5th Year Computer Science students are competing in the Senior Level. We've been practising for weeks in class, so we're aiming high!
Try some of the puzzles yourself - they are challenging! Students have to answer 15 online questions in 45 minutes.
