TEAM Zimbabwe appears to be in high spirits at the ongoing 2024 International Junior Science Olympiad Competition in Romania.
The six-member team expected to bring home some silverware.
The team, made up of former three students from St Johns College, Hellenic Academy and Arundel School, left for the European country earlier this week for the annual competition slated for December 2-12 in Bucharest, Romania.
The contest will comprise three tests in physics, chemistry and biology, each of which lasts between three and four hours.
The theoretical portion consists of two tests: a multiple choice questionnaire consisting of 30 questions, and a theoretical test.
The practical portion consists of three laboratory examinations, one for each field.
Zimbabwe is currently being represented by Munotida Mundira (St Johns College), Munotida Munhemo, Rutendo Kufakunesu (Arundel), Xander Stevenson and Joshua Carlise (both Hellenic Academy).
Speaking from Romania, Carola Bogezi described the mood in the Zimbabwean camp as upbeat.
“We are particularly excited that these young students, all aged 15 and below, have shown great determination, hard work and stamina over the last two school terms,” said Bogezi.
