About – Beaver Computational Thinking Competition Malaysia

What is Beaver and Bebras?

• Beaver Computational Thinking Competition is an online based competition that is a part of the international Bebras effort. The Bebras competition was organized in Lithuania and the word “Bebras” means beaver in Lithuanian.

• Bebras aims to promote interest in Information Technology, Informatics and Computational Thinking among students.

• As of 2025, nearly 4 million participants from more than 70 countries have participated in Beaver worldwide with 5,732 of them registered as participants from Malaysia.

Assists students in understanding Reka Bentuk dan Teknologi and Asas Sains Komputer subjects through problem solving.

What is Computational Thinking?

Computational thinking is a thought process that allows one to break down problems and formulate solutions like how computers “think”. It involves problem-solving process that includes (but not limited to) the following characteristics:

Formulating problems in a way that enables us to use a computer and other tools to help solve them.
Logically organizing & analyzing data.
Representing data through abstraction such as simulations.
Automating solutions through algorithmic thinking (a series of ordered steps).
Identifying, analyzing and implementing possible solutions to achieve the most effective combination of steps and resources.
Generalizing and transferring the problem solving process to a wide variety of problems.
