As part of the Olympiad, pairs of students compete in over 30 STEM-related events, such as engineering, where they built bridges, planes, vehicles, and rollercoasters to test. They also competed in laboratory events using scientific techniques to answer questions about chemistry, physics, and forensics, and events where they took tests to demonstrate their knowledge of a wide range of STEM topics, such as forestry, meteorology, rocks and minerals, and anatomy and physiology.
