What is Owlypia?
Owlypia is a global online competition in English for students aged 11-14 & 15-18 inspired by The Intellectuals’ Challenge (TIC) which aims to inspire intellectual curiosity and enhance the academic success of young minds across the world.
How it works?
Students aged 11-18 can enrol to take part in this online competition where their performance will be assessed separately in two different age groups (the ‘Owlets’, aged 11-14, and the ‘Owlys’, aged 15-18). Participants must choose their favourite subject and prepare themselves for the competition by studying the recommended resources indicated under their favourite subject choice and the Common Ground section.
BYOD: Participants will need to bring their own laptop,tablet or smartphone, portable charger and have their own access to the internet (3G or 4G). The organizers will give to the participants the ACCESS LINK and their ACCESS CODE.
There are five subjects in Owlypia:
Participants are asked to select only one subject and answer 80% of the questions on their favourite subject and 20% of the questions on the Common Ground.
All students need to study common ground topics to be more successful at Owlypia. 20% of the questions come from Common Ground. You are expected to do research on the theme of the year,”Creativity: Beyond the Borders” and you may find the recommended resources below.
