The Uganda National Science Olympiad is SOFU's flagship national programme, bringing together young scientists from schools across Uganda through research, scientific presentation, argument, teamwork and competition.
Understand the tournament ↓The National Tournament is the climax. The science begins months earlier with sustained research.
Teams choose problems and begin a sustained period of investigation, experimentation and scientific writing.
Students test ideas, analyse observations and turn their work into a formal Research Report.
Research Report /60 plus a theory research assessment /40 creates the national ranking.
The published national cut for that edition determines who earns a place at the National Tournament.
Teams present, challenge, defend and review scientific work under tournament conditions.
Follow the current Uganda National Science Olympiad season from registration through Regional Qualifiers and the National Tournament.
Three roles create one disciplined scientific conversation.
Presents and defends the team's scientific work - its method, evidence, reasoning and conclusion.
Interrogates assumptions, methods, evidence and conclusions, then drives the scientific discussion.
Evaluates the report, the opposition and the quality of the scientific conversation that follows.
Enter the Fight Room and learn the rules, timing, Reporter, Opponent, Reviewer, slide building and practice simulations from zero.
These are the top schools by overall tournament performance - a separate recognition from the championship podium above.
