The results of the XXI International Junior Science Olympiad (IJSO) were summed up in Romania. Members of the Russian team won three gold and two silver medals. The children were congratulated on their high results by Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko and Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov.
“Congratulations to our schoolchildren – medalists of the International Natural Science Olympiad for Juniors. They competed in three academic subjects at once: physics, chemistry and biology. The high results of the winners and prize-winners show that the younger generation is able to contribute to ensuring the country’s technological leadership, developing simultaneously in several directions. I wish the guys the realization of their talents and success,” said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
“I congratulate our team on their well-deserved awards at the International Junior Science Olympiad. By your example, you inspire your peers to study physics, chemistry and biology, to participate in competitions and win. We pay great attention to the popularization of natural science subjects, and your choice will definitely become the key to future professional success,” noted Russian Minister of Education Sergei Kravtsov.
At the International Junior Science Olympiad in Romania, gold medals were awarded to:
● Ilya Binkin (Samara Regional Center for Gifted Children, Samara);
● Robert Bitlev (lyceum No. 533 “Educational complex “Malaya Okhta””, Krasnogvardeisky district of St. Petersburg);
● Gleb Artamonov (school No. 1568 named after Pablo Neruda, Moscow).
Silver medals were awarded to:
● Timofey Mironyuk (Physical and Technical Lyceum named after P.L. Kapitsa, Dolgoprudny, Moscow region);
● Vyacheslav Kurtenok (lyceum “Second School” named after V.F. Ovchinnikov, Moscow).
In addition, Ilya Binkin received a special prize. He took absolute third place in physics.
The Russian national team was formed based on the results shown by the children at the regional and final stages of the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren in physics and chemistry, as well as on the results of training camps that took place at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT).
The International Junior Science Olympiad has been held annually since 2004 with the aim of increasing students’ interest in the natural sciences. The competition includes three rounds: test, theoretical and experimental.
During the Olympiad, the children completed tasks in three academic subjects: physics, chemistry and biology. They also conducted interdisciplinary research.
