Students from the Georgian-American High School and Georgian-American School, representing Georgia at the International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO), won a bronze medal.
This year, the 14th IJSO was held in the Netherlands from December 3-13. The Olympiad hosted teams from 52 countries, with each team consisting of six students under the age of 16. Participants competed in three natural sciences: Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
The Olympiad is conducted in three rounds: a test round, a theoretical round, and an experimental round. IJSO is recognized as one of the world's most challenging Olympiads, lasting 10 days. During the competition, team leaders and students stay separately, with leaders accommodated in Nijmegen at the Val Monte Hotel and students at the Papendal Olympic Training Center in Arnhem.
The Olympiad's excursion program is always impeccably organized. Students and team leaders explored the attractions of Amsterdam, leaving unforgettable impressions of the Rembrandt Museum, Van Gogh Museum, and boat tours through Amsterdam's canals.
The host countries for upcoming IJSO events have already been announced. In the coming years, the Olympiad will take place in Botswana, Qatar, Germany, Ghana, Estonia, and Thailand.
