More than 1,000 schoolchildren from six countries: the final stage of the Internet Physics Olympiad at St Petersburg University is over

11 May saw the final stage of the Internet Physics Olympiad, organised by St Petersburg University. The day before the final, its participants held training sessions.

For the first time, the final stage was held online in the system of Olympiad tasks of St Petersburg University using proctoring technology. This is a control technology where monitoring is conducted by invigilators – proctors. Using a webcam, they tracked the actions of Olympiad participants. This technology makes it possible to confirm a person’s identity and exclude the use of reference sources, tips and other possible cheating.

The format of the final stage this year was changed in order to counteract the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

More than 1,000 schoolchildren of the 7th to 11th forms from Russia, Belarus, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Cyprus and Uzbekistan took part in the final stage of the Olympiad. 

The final stage results of the Internet Physics Olympiad for schoolchildren in the 2019/20 academic year

Every year about 20,000 schoolchildren try their strengths in the qualifying stage of the Internet Physics Olympiad.  The participants are from Russia, Abkhazia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Great Britain, Vietnam, Guinea, India, Kazakhstan, Cambodia, Cyprus, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Poland, the USA, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Estonia and other countries.

In the 2019/20 academic year, the Internet Physics Olympiad for schoolchildren was assigned the first level in the List of School Olympiads approved by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation.

Soft copies of certificates of the Olympiad winners and prize-winners will be available on the website of the Russian Council of School Olympiads.
