YEARLY THEME
Problem Solving: Transforming Ideas into Action
More than a competition. A global learning experience.
Owlypia is a learning program and academic competition for students aged 9-18. Students explore subjects that interest them, build critical thinking, communication, teamwork and confidence, and put their learning into action through engaging challenges and competitions.
Each year, Owlypia connects one central theme with five subject areas, diverse learning resources, the LMS and a pathway to academic competition.
