Day 2: 5th March 2019

Briefing by Organisers and Round 1 of Science Olympiad

First day of competition starts with a Punggol Secondary School team photo!

While waiting for the briefing to begin, our punggolites mingled with participants from other countries and made friends.

During the briefing sessions, participants learnt more about the various levels in the competition and what to expect for the next few days.

Level 1 Challenge took place in a classroom and the students were tasked to answer 100 multiple choice questions on Science, Math and general knowledge. We wish the students the very best and a rich learning experience!

Reflections

"I felt that the Level 1 challenge (100 MCQ) today was indeed very challenging. Despite the efforts to study topics beforehand, it proved to be quite a test of not only knowledge from our regular textbooks, but knowledge from an extremely vast range of sciences as well. Moving forward from the first challenge of SEASO 2019, I do look forward to cohesively working with my group members in the upcoming challenges and hope for the best to come." - Alberto Mallari 4D

Today was very meaningful first day for me as I was given the opportunity to meet and interact with the participants during the ice breaking session. The ice breaker session helped me to bond with other participants despite not knowing them initially. Everyone is warm and friendly and it feels like one big family here. From the familiarization session, I learnt more about what is going to happen what I should do during the different levels of challenges. -  Cody Loo 4A
