Two teams of Bulgarian students won second and third place at the International Young Naturalist Tournament (IYNT). It was held in Almaty, Kazakhstan, from August 20 to 27.
In the 11th edition of the tournament, Bulgarian high school students tested their knowledge against over 100 competitors from over 10 countries.
Neterra supports the Bulgarian teams of naturalists for the second year in a row. In 2022 one of the teams ranked first and became the absolute champion.
IYNT (International Young Naturalist's Tournament) is a natural science competition for students up to 17 years of age. In it, they present their solutions to experimental tasks that cover all the basic natural sciences – biology, physics, chemistry, and earth sciences.
Students are free to use any materials and equipment, help from specialists, laboratories, etc.
