On Saturday 10/12 was held in Nea Smyrni Laboratory Centre of Natural Sciences (teacher in charge: Athanasios Gourbis) the local preliminary stage of the EOES (European Olympiad of Experimental Science). EOES, which is organized by the Panhellenic Laboratory Centres of Natural Sciences, is special because it combines the following characteristics:
- It is laboratory-based. Students are tested in the conduct of experiments and the analysis of experimental data in order to draw conclusions.
- It is interdisciplinary. It is a 3-hour competition, during which students are tested in their laboratorial skills in physics, chemistry and biology.
- It is collaborative. In contrast to other written competitions, every school participates with a 3-member student team. Students ought to collaborate in order to achieve their goal.
In the local competition participated 4 schools and our High School won the first place among them.
Our team consisted of the students Myrsini Kana, Maria Billa, Petros Patrianakos and Spyridon Sofoulis. Our students? preparation was realized by our school teachers Sevasti Vamvakopoulou (Biology), Maria Diakonou and Margarita Toulatou (Physics), Chrysi Angelidou and Christodoulos Makedonas (Chemistry).
We wish the best to our school students and the best possible representation of Evangeliki Model High School of Smyrna in the Panhellenic Competition!
