Mr. Narayan Acharya, Sarswati Vidya Mandir, Pune, Maharashtra: (Urban school: Marathi language)
Our school, Sarswati Vidyalay is a school run for underprivileged students in Dahanukar colony and nearby area. We try to provide best available opportunities to our students to make them able to face challenges in life and to lead better future.
Our students appeared for Bebras challenge (in Marathi) for the first time. They enjoyed the challenge very much as it was without any burden like any other competitive exams. Solving the challenge they come to know how we have to think step by step to solve given task. Bebras challenge will help them to improve their logical thinking and problem solving skills.
My teachers and students are very happy to get such international platform. This time we could manage only 250 students to participate but next year we will try to conduct this competition for all the students of our school.

Abha Telang, Principal, Deccan Education Society English Medium School, Shirur , Maharashtra: (Rural school: English language)
This year (2019) I took charge as the headmistress of Deccan Education Society, English Medium Shirur. Bebras Challenge about computational thinking was a totally new concept for the teachers and the students. The teachers were a little hesitant and wary to implement it . Also as we took for offline exam due to non connectivity of internet. It was really challenging for the students.
The results are very encouraging for us as 3 our children from Aryabhata group have ranked Best at national level. 13 children out of 39 scored above 100 marks.
It was really a very new experience for our students. Thanks to the CSpathshala team
This will surely boost the confidence and next year maximum no of children shall participate as this is an opportunity for the rural children to show up at National level.

Our all students are taking the challenge but very surprising and happy realization is that some students who never complete any subject work or are very, very casual about studies were also giving test with full concentration and gave the feedback that the test was very interesting.

Kids are super excited sir! Even the hyper active and distracted ones are meticulously sitting with concentration. Now they are asking…When is the next test! Even though it is really hectic to have 250+ students doing the test in school within a week, the happiness and satisfaction on their faces drives our spirit and encourages us to do more.

Complex, tricky logical reasoning questions,great problem solving exercise, challenging and hard fun experience,questions put mind to work and strengthens thinking capacity. Required out of box thinking. Time limit made the test even more challenging,interesting and cool experience. Made one recollect all previously learnt concepts. Unique title for each question makes it interesting. Unique experience. Each question had to be analysed thoroughly.

Congratulations for reaching out to so many schools and changing the mindset and methodology of teaching computer science in schools. Bebras Challenge was an excellent initiative to test aptitude, logical thinking and reasoning. My students have enjoyed it thoroughly. Each one of them have shown a lot of interest to solve the puzzles and I really saw them trying…Well,Bebras was the talk of school last week.
