145 small Einsteins at voestalpine
On 8 April 2014, the 145 best upcoming physicists from the 4th grade of 33 different secondary schools from all of Upper Austria will have their knowledge of physics tested at the Mini Physics Olympics.
The physics problems, which the youngsters will have to solve within a 90-minute period in the event center of the voestalpine Stahlwelt, are very tricky. Knowledge of the laws of physics is not the only thing they will need. They also will have to combine their logical thinking abilities with common sense.
When the day's work is done, the young participants will enjoy a buffet meal. Afterwards, a magician will lighten up the tension before the winners are announced.
