Orchids The International School, a leading K12 school chain, recently organized the Junior Einstein Competition, aimed at promoting application-based learning and encouraging budding scientists across the branches. Approximately 200 teams took part, each of which consisted of 2 to 5 members, representing all branches throughout India.
The Junior Einstein Competition was conducted in three rounds, each level comprising a set of challenges and guidelines. In level 1, the students were asked to present a working model of their choice, while in level 2, they were required to redesign their models based on the modifications given.
