Prepare

Preparing for Bebras
The UK Bebras Challenge exposes students to a new way of thinking so there isn't a need to prepare for the contest. However, you can get a feel for the style of the problems by viewing previous challenges.

Preparing for OUCC
This challenge requires some preparation. Although Juniors and Intermediate students may be familiar with Blockly, you will need to be aware that we use some custom blocks and systems so working through our Blockly tutorials is a minimum. You should probably attempt some of the past challenges available in the Challenges tab too! Similarly, Senior and Elite students may be great programmers, familiar with one of the 11 text-based languages we support, but you will need to be familiar with how to handle standard input and standard output in your programs in such a way that your programs can be read and responded to by our testing server. Working through the Code submission tutorials is a must to avoid disappointment.
