International Academic Competitions is pleased to announce that the 2027 Online Winter Science Bee Regional Finals will be held on Sunday, January 17. This tournament will run on our Winter Science Bee Question Set, and is open to all students who have qualified for it through the Online Regional Qualifying Exam (ORQE)!
The ORQE is free of charge, and you can take it at any time. It is scored automatically, so you will know immediately if you have qualified. To take the ORQE, teachers or parents who will be giving their student(s) or child(ren) the exam must first register here. Once they have done so, they will be sent the link to the ORQE, and then students can then take the exam at any point as long as they are being proctored / invigilated by their sponsor.
Please note that this tournament will also include students from Asia, so it will be an exciting chance to compete with students from a different set of schools than you normally would get a chance to play! Note that students qualify for the International Science Bee European Championships if they finish in the top 2/3 either among all students in their division, or the European Division-eligible students in their division. Please also see the Resources Page on the menu bar for examples of Science Bee questions, as well as for the Winter Science Bee Study Guide once it is ready.
The cost to compete in the Online Spring Science Bee is $50 USD ($40 USD if all students at a school do not pay tuition) per student; this must be paid in advance (a payment link will be posted to this website shortly).
Registration for this tournament is now open through the Online Science Bee registration site for qualified students and will run through Sunday, January 10. For further questions, please contact the International Academic Competitions European Director, Mr Alex Marshall at alex@iacompetitions.com. Thanks for your interest in our tournament, and we hope that you and your school will be able to join us!
