KUALA LUMPUR, March 30 — The National Science Challenge 2017 (NSC 2017) has opened its registration to all Form 4 students nationwide.
Organised by the Academy of Sciences Malaysia (ASM), the premier science competition aims to provide a platform for talented young students to shine and strengthen their talent beyond the classroom.
ASM in statement today said teams that make it to the semi-finals would face a series of activities that will challenge them to use Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics as basis to come up with solutions to global problems.
Champions of the competition will receive the Prime Minister’s Challenge Trophy and get a chance to witness the prestigious Nobel Prize Awards ceremony and Nobel Lectures during a weeklong study visit to Stockholm, Sweden.
ASM said the second, third and fourth-placed teams would get to attend the Sakura Science Exchange Programme for one week in Tokyo, Japan.
