“…Since the emergence of the first Olympiad in Science, a lot of other subject-specific Olympiads have come into play -Olympiads in Biology, Astronomy, Astrophysics, and even Medicine. But Olympiads in Informatics (programming) still remain one of the most important, which explains the emergence of Olympiads or Challenge for the youngsters, such as "Bebras" -International Challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking (Pozdniakov et al, 2016), (bebras.org). One may hear a lot about Information age (also known as the Computer Age or Digital Age), where informatics is playing a crucial role.…”

The development of information technologies has not brought only positive aspects to the society, but also negative ones: youth isolation, Internet addiction, inability to express thoughts logically, poor physical health, etc. Such problems impede the process of youth development and making professionals of them. But Olympiads in Informatics and Programming can turn the teens' obsession with computers and the Internet into huge advantage that will be very beneficial in future. The research undertaken analysed the role of Olympiads in Informatics and Programming and proved that Olympiads are effective mechanisms of investments into youth. The research covered about 300 students of Computer Technology Chair of ITMO University (St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics) and the latest data on the factors motivating students were received. In particular, that there is interconnection between Olympiads and students' motivation in acquiring the profession; that Olympiads contribute to the effective development of youth; and that they provide opportunity to get a good education that will bring financial prosperity, career satisfaction and self-realization.

“…Dynamic tasks are the following: students have to manipulate objects visually, or students have to write and run small programs. Pozdniakov et al (2016) discussed types of tasks and paid attention to dynamic tasks. According to Pozdniakov et al dynamic tasks should include interactive components, e.g.…”

Abstract.A well-known challenge on Informatics and Computational Thinking Bebras is based on task solving activity. The Bebras model is known as one of the methods that involves students to the learning and promotes students' reasoning. The Bebras motivates students to be interested more deeply in informatics. This goal can only be reached if the tasks are interesting and provoke some excitement. The interactivity is very typical for computers, so it is clear that a computer oriented challenge / contest should apply interactive elements to solve or explain tasks. This paper presents a tool that is used to code and design dynamic Bebras tasks. The paper has two main goals: 1) to analyse tasks used to engage student's in learning informatics fundamentals, and 2) to provide a description of the tool, so-called the Bebras Lodge, and illustrate application of this tool by discussing several examples.
