Candidates for the Science Olympiads will be better prepared
For people who are not aware of the importance of placing well in the competition, know that the candidates who best performers will be able, for example, to join Unicamp without having to take the entrance exams. university.
Therefore, in order to help these thousands of applicants, ECIT (Integral Technical Citizen School) student, Giovanny Arthur Ramos de Albuquerque and his friend, Giovanna Silva, decided to create a specific preparatory group for the Olympics.
The students, aged 18, found themselves in a national group of Olympic medalists, the “Math Show Olympics – MSO”. After this event, came the idea of deepening studies for the Olympics and taking this inspiration into schools for free.
How did the group actually start?
With the help of their math teacher, Thiago Nascimento, they created the project “go big”. He is responsible for helping prepare for the competitions through free classes and open debates on the areas of knowledge scored in the test.
All of this takes place through Google Meet. The group has 20 volunteers and more than 200 students from all over Brazil, most of them from public schools.
The beginning of everything for Giovanny in the competition
Giovanny's trajectory began when he was in the 6th grade. It was at that time, in 2016, that he participated for the first time in the OBMEP (Brazilian Mathematics Olympiad of Public Schools). Today, he has twelve gold, three silver and four bronze medals.
According to him, in total, project participants have already participated in around 12 Olympic Games and have won an average of 70 awards.
