Oxford University Computing Challenge

Last month Bangkok Prep students participated in the prestigious “OUCC” competition for the second year. Any student who achieved a top 10% worldwide score in November’s UK Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge was invited to participate, alongside any student studying IGCSE or A Level Computer Science at Bangkok Prep.

Well done to all students involved. Bangkok Prep’s scores this year were much higher than last, and this is representative of the engagement and excitement surrounding Computer Science at our school.

Average scores for the ‘Elite’ category: Bangkok Prep vs. other international schools vs. UK schools:

Average scores for the ‘Senior’ category: Bangkok Prep vs. other international schools vs. UK schools:

We are thrilled to have one student this year – Pip (Y10) – who has progressed to the final round, taking place on the 7th March. The grade boundary required for this was no less than 100%, and Pip was able to achieve this. Good luck Pip for the final challenge!
