AstroChallenge 2020 Prize Presentation (17 Feb 2021)

AstroChallenge is an annual astronomy competition jointly organised by the Astronomical Societies of National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. The competition is specially tailored for students in Secondary Schools, Junior Colleges and Polytechnics. AstroChallenge aims to enhance students’ interest and knowledge in astronomy, and hopes to foster closer inter-school ties through the common interest of astronomy. Students will be exposed to a comprehensive array of questions that range from theoretical to practical astronomy.

Due to the challenges posed by Covid-19, the competition was postponed to December of 2020. AstroChallenge 2020 was held fully online on 5 and 9 December 2020.

SST participated in the Junior Section with 5 teams of 4 students each.
