Competition Rules

​1、Originality: All entries must be completed independently by the participant. No submissions of others' works are allowed. Participants may use their own previous competition works.

​

2、Content Restrictions: All entries must not contain obscene, violent, sexual, defamatory, inappropriate, or controversial content. Violation of this rule will result in disqualification without prior notice.

​

3、Personal Data Use: Personal information provided by participants will only be used for competition contact purposes and to distribute competition notifications.

​

​4、Accuracy of Information: Participants must ensure that their personal information is accurate. The organizers will not be responsible for any errors.

​

5、Acceptance of Terms: By submitting their entries, participants agree to all competition terms and conditions. The organizers reserve the right to disqualify any participant believed to have violated any competition rules, and there will be no appeals process.

Scoring Criteria

• Knowledge Accuracy and Logical Coherence: When answering questions, scientific knowledge points (such as basic principles of physics, chemical reaction mechanisms, biological evolutionary laws) are applied accurately. Problem-solving ideas are logically rigorous. Every step—from elaborating scientific theories, experimental rules, and data analysis methods to the reasoning process and conclusion—is closely linked, with no obvious knowledge errors or logical flaws. For discussion questions (e.g., discussing the impact of artificial intelligence on environmental protection) and analysis questions (e.g., analyzing experimental data validity), the understanding of scientific concepts (such as "control variables," "scientific modeling") is precise. The argumentation process is structured, progressing in an orderly manner like the systematic development of science, ensuring the accuracy and coherence of the entire answering process.

​​​

• Method Application and Skill Demonstration: Able to skillfully apply appropriate scientific learning and analysis methods. For example, in experimental design questions, correctly use methods such as control variable method and data induction method, just like accurately operating laboratory instruments. In data analysis questions, use appropriate statistical tools and logical reasoning skills (such as trend analysis, correlation judgment). When dealing with interdisciplinary problems, be able to skillfully integrate knowledge from multiple scientific fields (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.) for comprehensive analysis. The operation process is smooth and natural, just like a professional scientist conducting research, demonstrating solid subject literacy and skill mastery, making the problem-solving process efficient and accurate.

​​

• Answering Standards and Expression Presentation: Answers are written in a standardized manner. In formula derivation or experimental steps (if any), expressions are accurate and in line with scientific norms. The text is concise, clear, professional, and appropriate, complying with the question’s format and standard requirements. For example, in scientific essay questions, the structure is clear with an introduction, body, and conclusion. The language is suitable for the theme and audience, avoiding overly obscure professional terms that are not suitable for young people. When elaborating viewpoints, one can be as calm and rigorous as a scientific researcher presenting findings, communicating with examiners through precise language and typical scientific cases (such as major scientific and technological innovations, classic experiments), showing good control over the answering process.

​​

• In-depth Understanding and Expansion Innovation: Have a deep understanding of the principles behind the scientific knowledge involved in the questions and their practical application scenarios. Not only can solve superficial problems (e.g., answering the definition of a scientific concept or the steps of a basic experiment), but also expand in combination with real-world situations in answers, putting forward innovative insights or solutions. For example, in questions about renewable energy development, deeply explore multiple factors such as technological bottlenecks, policy support, and environmental impacts behind the phenomenon, and propose unique ideas for promoting green science and technology among global youth. Just like integrating cutting-edge scientific research into youth science education, it resonates with examiners, demonstrating in-depth mastery and flexible application of scientific knowledge.
