Students from Silver Birches Elementary School in North Bay participated in the University of Waterloo’s Beaver Computing Challenge with some outstanding results.
Grade 4/5 teacher Mr. Arbiter writes that the Beaver Computing Challenge is a national contest that introduces students to computational thinking and problem-solving. The challenge is designed to spark interest in computer science by presenting engaging, logic-based challenges that required creativity and analytical skills.
Several Silver Birches students achieved Distinction, placing in the top 25 per cent of all participants across Canada.
The hard work and dedication of Silver Birches students have paid off, says Mr. Arbiter, noting that students demonstrated exceptional and growing problem-solving abilities. Congratulations to these students! We celebrate your achievement and look forward to seeing continued success in future STEM opportunities, including next year’s contest.
