NEW CONTEST RMJ Science Contest // $500+ in prizes!!
Calling all junior high and elementary students!
Hello Previous ARC Participants,
We here at ARC are pleased to announce our next contest, the 6th Annual RMJSC. The RMJSC is a multi-round STEM competition aimed towards testing junior high-level concepts to prepare students for the PAT examinations in Grade 9 (though younger students are still eligible to participate!)
(scroll down for sign-up information)
Contestants will compete in teams of 3 over 3 different rounds to test different skill sets. The first round will be the practical or applications round. This will consist of six questions introducing higher-level science concepts and marked based on how well teams can use the new knowledge. The second round will be a fast-paced trivia-type round. Contestants will need to answer questions as quickly as possible, and points are awarded for speed and accuracy. The last round will be a design round, in which contestants will need to build a structure with given materials to fulfill a requirement. Points will be awarded based on how well they can meet the requirements.
- The contest will primarily test on content relating to biology, chemistry, and physics. A formula sheet will be provided as the main aim of the contest is to test students on their ability to apply problem-solving skills and apply their knowledge, rather than just memorizing content
- The RMJSC contest is designed for teams of 3 people, but solo participants are allowed, and we will try our best to make fitting groups to accommodate them into groups of 3. Registration is on a first come first serve basis.
- Free snacks and lunch will be provided, with accommodations for dietary restrictions
Date: 9:30AM - 3:30PM, Sunday March 30th.
Location: University of Calgary ICT 114
Cost: FREE
Grades: 7-9 - Anyone in Grades 9 or below are welcome to attend, however this contest is mainly intended for middle school as many components are taken from the Alberta Grades 7-9 curriculum.
This event is organized by high school students who were past high-scoring PAT test takers and are currently also scoring well on the Grade 12 Diploma examinations.
