Beavers Computing - 2022

Exceptional results by CKSTEM students once again

November 29, 2022

Beavers Computing introduces computer science to students. It is designed to get students with little or no prior experience excited about computing. It is a problem-solving contest with a focus on computational and logical thinking. Questions are inspired by topics in computer science but only require comfort with concepts found in mathematics curriculum common to all provinces.

Several organizations across the globe conduct the same contest. Because of a few fundamental issues in how CEMC, Waterloo University conducts this contest, we decided to participate with Bebras USA. This not only gave us more flexibility to run the contest but also allowed more students to win. . However, CEMC's approach of giving awards to just 25% of the students in a school would need to be reconsidered for organizations like ours with extraordinary talent. As a result of fair assessment across all participants, ~50% of our students won awards and many more scored above the 75 percentile.
