Madiun – Bebras Madiun State Polytechnic Bureau (PNM) handed over Bebras Challenge 2021 prizes to 10 participants spread across six schools on 19-20 July 2022. The prizes were a form of appreciation to the participants who achieved the highest scores in the Bebras Challenge which was held online on 8-13 November 2021.
Bebras itself is Lithuanian for beaver. The Bebras Competition was founded in Lithuania by Prof. Valentina Dagiene from the University of Vilnius in 2004. Bebras were chosen as a symbol of challenge because otters try hard to achieve targets perfectly in their daily activities. The term Bebras is used to show the hard work and intelligence required in life.
