Well done to our science competition winners

05 Jul 2023

Congratulations to all the students worldwide who have won awards in the first phase of the Cambridge Upper Secondary Science Competition 2023.

This extra-curricular competition gives Cambridge IGCSE and O Level students an opportunity to develop their passion for science. More than 150 teams of students took part, investigating scientific topics that have practical relevance and consider sustainability. Students worked together to find sustainable solutions to real-life problems, such as purifying wastewater, constructing buildings and producing electricity. Read more about the winning projects.

Six regional winners have been announced, as well as the winner of a new Sustainability Award (pictured above).

  • Best in Europe: A team from Montessori School La Florida in Spain investigated the use of a home-made filter to measure the cleanliness of water.
  • Best in Middle East & North Africa: A team from New Middle East International School in Saudi Arabia explored the production of biodegradable leather.
  • Best in Pakistan: A team from Bloomfield Hall School built a walking track to investigate the potential of walking to produce electricity.
  • Best in Southeast Asia & Pacific: A team from Victoria International School in Malaysia compared different methods of water purification.
  • Best in Sub-Saharan Africa: A team from Willow International School in Mozambique investigated an effective and sustainable method of removing methylene blue dye from water.
  • Sustainability Award: A team from Bloomfield Hall School investigated the use of raw materials to construct buildings.

Well done to all our winners and to everyone who took part. The Best in Region winners will now be judged for the overall Best in World award, announced in December 2023. Find out how to enter the second entry period for this year’s competition which runs from July to October 2023.

'The judges would like to congratulate all the schools and teams that entered the competition for their hard work and enthusiasm, not just those whose investigations were submitted for judging, but all those who achieved silver, bronze and participation awards. We were delighted to see many excellent, thoughtful and well executed science investigations. In particular, it was gratifying to see the wide range of topics chosen by the teams and the motivation behind these, often based on local issues with a wider sustainability impact.' Dr Helen Eccles, Head Judge
