Ed-tech startup to host Olympiad for children

The assessment will cover logical thinking skills, comprehension skills, critical thinking skills, quantitative and problem-solving aptitude and offer scholarships of upto Rs 65 lakh. The test has three stages — prelims at the school level, quarterfinals at the zonal level and the grand finale at an international level.

 Commenting on the Olympiad, Amit Bansal, founder and CEO, WizKlub, said, “Every kid has strengths that often go unnoticed in the course of curriculum-based education. We believe it is crucial to engage kids in ways of learning where their core competencies are developed in a measurable manner. With this olympiad, we are confident that many parents and schools will see the value in assessing their kids for cognitive capabilities on global benchmarks.” Interested participants can self-register or register via their respective schools. The grand finale is expected to be held in the early weeks of February 2021.
