Vanda is an International Science Competition held annually around the globe. It focuses on the student’s ability to think critically and creatively to pick out hidden information to aid them in solving the question.

Vanda is for students from Grade 3 to Grade 11. It focuses on higher-order thinking skills. This allows participants to do better compared to pure-Olympiad papers since they are familiar with most of the topics.

Science Questions in the competition have a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and methodology which include the development of reasoning and analytical skills, decision and problem-solving skills, flexibility to respond to a different context, and possessing an open and enquiring mind that is willing to explore new territories and learn new things which are aligned to the desired 21st-century competencies.

CKSTEM has also prepared a detailed training plan to help students prepare for the contest. You can learn more about this contest at: https://www.competitivekids.org/vanda
