AOGS- Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) International Geoscience Challenge 2019
Mon-29 Jul | 6:30PM - 9PM | Exhibition/Poster Hall

The AOGS-EOS International Geoscience Challenge 2019 is part of the organizations’ effort to inspire and create greater interest in Geophysical Sciences among middle and high school students. The aim of the Challenge is to give students the experience of conducting an investigative geoscience project and provide students with a platform to exhibit and share their findings with others.

Judging of Projects - Students will be required to give a short 10 min presentation, followed by Q&A on the 29 July 2019.

Teams will present their projects with the aid of their display poster.

Middle School (SEC) Category-Open to all middle schools or secondary schools (age 13-16)
High School (JC) Category-Open to all high schools or Junior Colleges (age 17-18)
