Welcome to IGO
We invite students nationwide to participate in our newest event for our school, IGO—the International Greenwich Olympiad. The Olympiad features 13 categories, including Environmental Sciences, Creative Writing, and Sumo Lego Challenge, among others. Participants aged 10 to 18 may choose any category to present their projects.
The Olympiad will take place on 24th June 2025. Students will present their work in person at the exhibition held at Queen Mary University. Our judges will review the submissions and award bronze, silver, or gold medals to deserving participants.
