Mawhiba urges students to register for Bebras Informatics 2026 by Nov. 22

The King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba) has called on students across all regions of Saudi Arabia to register promptly for the 2026 Bebras Mawhiba Informatics Competition before registration closes on November 22.

Mawhiba explained that the competition, organized in partnership with the Ministry of Education, is open to public school students from grade three in elementary through grade twelve in high school. The event offers a competitive educational experience focused on solving problems and challenges that stimulate creative thinking and develop essential cognitive and technical skills for the future.

The foundation noted that participation does not require prior programming knowledge, as the questions emphasize thinking, analysis, pattern recognition, and logical relationships. The competition is conducted remotely through an online test available in both Arabic and English, using desktop or laptop computers.

Bebras is considered one of the leading international competitions in informatics and computational thinking, attracting more than four million students from over 78 countries. Its aim is to foster students’ interest in computer science and enhance their ability to think systematically and solve challenges in innovative ways.

To support students’ preparation, Mawhiba provides the interactive Bebras electronic library, which includes previous questions and a variety of training problems to help students practice for the competition and develop their skills ahead of the test.

Mawhiba urged students to take advantage of the remaining days to register and called on parents to encourage their children to participate. Details about the competition and registration are available through the Mawhiba app or on its website at https://www.mawhiba.sa/.
