A total of 24 students, 12 from each grade, took part in the competition.
The topics covered a wide range of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and interdisciplinary subjects. Participants captivated the audience with speeches on topics like Nuclear Energy and the complexities of genetic mutation, making the event both educational and engaging.
The competition was judged by Mr. Kamlesh Kumar Karn, Head of the Science Department, and Ms. Ranju Shrestha, a senior science teacher. They evaluated the students on their scientific understanding, communication skills, and ability to present complex ideas clearly. The event aimed not only to reward academic knowledge but also to promote effective science communication.
In the results for Grade IX, Parth Agrawal from IX 'G' (Mt. Lhotse House) secured the first position, followed by Keshav Agrawal from IX 'G' (Mt. Annapurna House) in second place.
