The more one does computational thinking, the better one gets at it. And today we’re launching the Wolfram Challenges site to give everyone a source of bite-sized computational thinking challenges based on the Wolfram Language. Use them to learn. Use them to stay sharp. Use them to prove how great you are.

Bebras Cards are freely available to download and print from http://bebras.uk – the UK Bebras site.  The password to access the answers is Algorithm. Do try them out! Bebras puzzles are fun to try to solve and also all related to computer science in some way. The intention is to engage students in computational thinking and stimulate an interest in Computing.
