The 5th International Olympiad of Metropolises was held in Moscow, the capital of Russia, which, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, was organized remotely. The Olympiad covered four disciplines: Mathematics, Informatics, Physics and Chemistry.
The Yerevan team once again registered high results: in the individual competition, our schoolchildren won 4 silver and 1 bronze medal; in the team competition they were awarded the cup of the 2nd category; and in the blitz round they won an incentive Cup.
The Yerevan team was represented by the schoolchildren of A. Shahinyan Physics and Mathematics Specialized School (5 schoolchildren), the “Quantum” College (2 schoolchildren) and “Heratsi” High School (1 schoolchild).
224 schoolchildren from 31 metropolises participated in the online Olympiad. The schoolchildren of Physics and Mathematics Specialized School after A.
