The winners of the school erudition competition “FIZMIX Experiments” have been determined

“We live in a dynamic world where every new day brings new discoveries. Physics and the understanding of its laws play a big role in research that creates innovations and discoveries. The competition “FIZMIX Experiment” and the Latvian Physics Festival are a real celebration of physics for all its participants every year – for students, teachers and anyone interested. May physics continue to fascinate, increase erudition and inspire more and more young people in Latvia,” wished JSC “Latvenergo” board member Dmitrijs Yuskovecs.

This year, a total of 1,080 students applied for the student erudition competition, which has the status of an open physics Olympiad, and its first round of selection took place in absentia. On the other hand, 300 of the most knowledgeable 8th and 9th grade students from all regions of Latvia met on April 13 in the semifinals and finals of the competition, which took place within the framework of the Latvian Physics Festival.

Residents and guests of the city – visitors to the 4th Latvian Physics Festival – had the opportunity to participate in an educational and entertaining event throughout the day, which was organized by Latvian science and curiosity centers, various technical creativity and interest groups, the largest Latvian universities and other educational institutions, as well as companies. During the physics festival, everyone had the opportunity to learn about the achievements of Latvian science in physics, listen to the opinions of experts on the importance of STEM in the development of society and economy, see exciting experiments and increase knowledge about innovations in the field of future energy. Latvian teachers, on the other hand, created new ones in a special master class

ideas for exciting physics teaching in schools. At the end of the event, the group “Astro’n’out” entertained the participants of the school erudition competition and the visitors of the physics festival with a concert.
