Students don’t have to prepare for the challenge. There are several easy steps for you to take in order to make the challenge successful.

Before the Challenge

If your school has limited lab space, you can run it on multiple days. If you decide to do so, please try to limit the interaction between students who have completed the challenge already and those who still have to complete it.

Week of the challenge

Make sure everyone understands the format of the challenge. There are 15 multiple-choice questions.
Supervise the challenge. Each student has exactly 45 minutes to answer the questions. Teachers can provide scrap paper and pens/pencils to students to assist them in solving the problems.
However as an exception, considering the challenges faced due to the global pandemic, students can take the challenge from their home.
