Olympiad. — Atlântia STEM Olympiad

About Us

Where young minds shape the future.

Atlântia International STEM Olympiad is an international academic platform created to encourage students to develop innovative projects in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

The olympiad aims to support young people in producing scientific and technological solutions to real-world problems, while at the same time developing their creativity, analytical thinking, research and problem-solving skills.

The olympiad offers a project-based learning environment that enables students to translate their theoretical knowledge into practice. Participants get the chance to experience scientific research, engineering design and technological innovation processes by developing their own projects.

At the same time, students gain the opportunity to present their projects on an international academic platform, building connections with peers, academics and industry representatives from different countries. In doing so, participants form an important global academic network for their future academic and professional careers.

Global Stage

Uniting students from every continent in a shared mission.

Real Problems

Engineering, science and code applied to real-world challenges.

Excellence

Celebrating rigorous achievement with international recognition.

Future Leaders

Shaping curiosity, confidence and leadership in young people.

// International network

Building tomorrow's academic community today.

Target Audience

Designed for young minds at every stage of their journey.

The competition is open to students at various education levels in order to support them in developing their scientific and technological abilities. Atlântia International STEM Olympiad is designed to help participants build the skills of scientific thinking, research and producing innovative solutions from an early age.

The competition is open to students in the following education levels:

Kindergarten Students

Little Explorers — play and curiosity-based activities to discover science and nature.

1–2

Grade 1–2 Students

Young Scholars — simple experiments, observation and creative thinking activities.

3–4

Grade 3–4 Students

Young Researchers — basic scientific inquiry, simple design and teamwork projects.

5–6

Grade 5–6 Students

Junior Explorers — discovery-driven projects that introduce the scientific method.

7–8

Grade 7–8 Students

Inventors — hands-on prototyping, simple code and team-based experiments.

9–10

Grade 9–10 Students

Engineers — project research, data analysis and applied engineering design.

11–12

Grade 11–12 Students

Innovators — advanced research-grade projects with real-world deployment focus.

The categories created for each age group are designed by taking into account students' academic level and prior knowledge. This allows participants to develop projects appropriate to their own level — gaining the opportunity to experience the processes of scientific research, engineering design and technology production.

The olympiad also helps students improve important academic skills such as creative thinking, problem-solving, teamwork and project presentation. Participants learn to apply scientific processes hands-on — from conducting research and analyzing data to building prototypes and presenting outcomes.

This structure encourages students to develop an interest in science and technology from an early age, while also laying an important foundation for future careers in engineering, technology and research.
