About this Olympiad

The EduJunior Science Olympiad (ESO) is a national-level scientific aptitude competition designed to spark curiosity, encourage innovation, and strengthen students' understanding of scientific concepts. This Olympiad assesses learners across key areas of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, environmental science, scientific reasoning, and everyday applications of science.


ESO aims to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a scientific mindset by encouraging students to explore concepts beyond the classroom. Through a structured exam pattern and age-appropriate questions, the Olympiad inspires young minds to observe, question, experiment, and apply scientific knowledge to real-world situations while building a strong foundation for future academic success.
