Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge (RPFCC)
Date
Tuesday 16 to Thursday 18 June 2026
Time
45 minutes
Cost
FREE
The Raspberry Pi Foundation Coding Challenge (RPFCC) is designed to be accessible to all students, even if they have basic coding skills. The aim of the challenge is to enhance skills, build confidence, and inspire students to develop programmed solutions to computational thinking problems.
There are two types of challenge available: block-based programming and text-based programming. Both challenges include multiple levels (or divisions). Students are able to choose the most appropriate level based on skills rather than age.
Practice challenges can be found on the UK Bebras website
*This challenge was previously delivered as the Coding Challenge (CC) and the Oxford University Computing Challenge (OUCC).

Divisions
Divisions are based on skill not age. There are four divisions:
- Novice – For students who are new to block-based programming, or who have recently started learning to code using blocks.
- Explorer – For students who are confident using block-based programming and have experience creating programs using blocks.
- Navigator – New to text-based programming. For students who have recently started coding using a text-based programming language and are developing their skills by creating small programs.
- Pathfinder – Experienced text-based programming. For students who are confident programmers using a text-based programming language.
Practice challenges, including information on block-based and text-based challenges can be found on the UK Bebras website
