Day 1: 4th March 2019

Flying off to Penang for the 1st SEAMO Science Olympiad 2019

Today, we met at the airport at 1pm feeling excited to fly off to Penang for the Science Olympiad Competition. However, we were also filled with nervousness and anxiety as it was a new experience for all of us. With the encouragement of our friends, we felt more assured and confident that we will do well. Together as a team, we will achieve great heights!

We had a few training sessions before we came for the competition. We got to know one another better during the training sessions. A a team, we decided that all of us will take a topic each to do research and post useful resources and materials such as videos and links to articles onto the Google Classroom platform created for us by our teachers.

One of our training sessions included a hands on challenge in which we were tasked to build a boat made of materials such as straws, ice cream sticks and aluminium foils. We worked together in teams to find innovative solutions to the challenge given to us. - James Foo 3A


Tomorrow, I am expecting a tough battle as there will be an individual component testing on our scientific knowledge. I am also expecting to make many new friends during the ice breaker sessions.  I hope all will go well tomorrow and I wish all competitors the very best! -Teja 2D
