The Competitive Kids STEM (CKSTEM) is proud to put together a comprehensive plan for preparing students for the science contests. This training is free for every student in the global science contest - VANDA. We will share 10-12 sessions covering in the next four months for grade 3-11 students. This training will cover all major topics in science required for elementary, middle, and high school. Each session will have the following elements:
- A creative and musical introduction to the science topics.
- Self-Serve
- Engaging Lessons consist of informational slides, interactive videos, quizzes, games and more.
- Quizzes aligned to the lessons covered.
- Educational games to enhance learning while playing.
- Science lab to explore ideas by changing various parameters.
- Additional practice test before the final contests
This training is designed to help students solidify science fundamentals in a fun way. Most contests generally expect students to have a good understanding of topics beyond their school grades. You will undoubtedly find this training very helpful to prepare; however, we encourage you to review sample tests from the contests to learn yourself applying concepts to solve problems. This training is CKSTEM's initiative. It can not guarantee your success in the competitions. However, it will help you learn and understand science better. We hope you will find it helpful.
