One of the most important educational projects of the "Sirius" is an invitational stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for Schoolchildren, which has been taking place annually since 2020. More than 1.3 million pupils have taken part in it during this period.
There are six Olympiad subjects: Mathematics, Information Science, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Astronomy.
The tasks harmoniously combine captivating complexity and simplicity, not requiring special training. They were developed by the best experts of the country with international experience of learning and teaching and extensive expertise in the field of Olympiads and supplementary education.
The invitational stage, which has established itself as a starting point to a world of great achievements, will be translated into English for the first time.
Foreign users will be able to take part in each of the six subjects, having chosen one of the three age levels: junior, middle or senior.
According to the results of the Olympiad, text- and video analysis of the tasks will be available for all competitors, as well as certificates of participation and diplomas for special achievements.
