What Is Bebras Mawhiba?
Think Beyond Coding.
The Bebras Mawhiba Informatics Competition is an international competition that develops students’ informatics, logic, and computational thinking through short, engaging problems they can analyze and solve step by step.
Bebras was launched in Lithuania in 2004. Saudi Arabia joined the competition through a pilot in 2019 before Bebras Mawhiba was officially rolled out, encouraging more students to explore computer science and develop logical, systematic thinking.
