Owlypia – The Intellectuals’ Challenge is a global competition for students aged 9-11 (Owlins), 12-14 (Owlets) and 15-18 (Owlys). A platform where they think, write, discuss and enjoy!
“Challenge your limits intellectually!” is the spirit of Owlypia. It aims to inspire intellectual curiosity and develop research skills and academic confidence in young minds.
Students take different challenges by joining one of Owlypia Rounds:
Young intellectuals are expected to select their favourite subject and focus on it. The study resources contain several films and videos to watch, alongside a range of books and articles to read. Some thought-provoking questions provided with each subject should be used to guide one’s research.
