Tutored Student wins British Physics Olympiad
June 6, 2022 in Guangzhou, China
'Spark" was in the 8th grade and took a Physics Test provided by the prestigious British Physics Olympiad. The outcome was a "Global Silver Award" placing him in the top 15% of competitors around the world. Dr. Tim Burgess has been his science tutor over the last school year.
The aim of the BPhO is to encourage the study of physics and to recognize excellence in young physicists through ten annual physics competitions.
These are designed to test understanding and problem solving skills and are open to able young physicists in school years 11-13 (GCSE to A2/IB/Highers or equivalent).
The BPhO includes a Junior Physics Challenge (online), an Intermediate Physics Challenge and an Experimental Projects students can enter.
Participation in a British Physics Olympiad is a challenge for able students which allows them to: Have fun problem solving; experience the perseverance and determination required to solve harder problems; test their knowledge with stimulating questions; see the real-world problem-solving potential of physics; practise open-ended and unstructured questions, as seen at higher levels of study and gain a prestigious award for CVs and UCAS forms. In addition to this students can develop the skills required for admission to top universities; compare their attainment with students from all over the United Kingdom; qualify for additional training with the best students, and have the chance to represent Britain at the International Physics Olympiad.
The British Physics Olympiad competition has many sponsors including Cambridge and Oxford Universities as well as Rolls Royce. This year’s contests run until the end of May 2022.
