Eye Level Math Olympiad Winners

Eye Level Math Olympiad is an annual standardized test that is taken by students from 2nd grade through 9th grade. This global contest is designated to challenge and measure student’s skills and abilities including problem solving, analytical reasoning, and critical thinking.  

In November 2018, more than 8,200 international students competed in the Eye Level Math Olympiad global contest out of which over 200 students were from Kuwait. The event took place in GUST University and more than 15 schools in Kuwait participated.
AIS Kuwait students from grade2 to grade9 took part in the math Olympiad test and the results were brilliant, AIS ranked in the top three in Kuwait!
Our students’ results exhibited great depth in perception, problem solving, reasoning skills, in various areas such as patterns and relationships, geometry, calculation, measurement, and arithmetic.

Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to their parents & teachers for the efforts and support!

Below are our national winners :

grade2: Juman Al Awadhi (3^rd place)
grade3: Samir Chami (2^nd place)
grade4: Ali Masri (1^st place)
grade5: Christopher Labaky (3^rd place)

Winners of NESA

The American International School once again, receives the first-place award at NVSF 2018.

The Near East South Asia Council of International Schools (NESA), which is linked to the U.S. Department of State’s Office of Overseas Schools, covers schools from over 75 countries from Athens/Egypt to Thailand. Every year, NESA organizes The Virtual Science and Engineering Fair (NVSEF), which is a competition amongst teams from NESA schools. NVSEF is a shift from the traditional science fair to one that is inclusive of virtual resources. Students use online resources and create virtual communities to discuss, participate in scientific research, and exchange scientific/engineering designs and inventions.
The American International School- Kuwait participated in NVSEF since 2011 and won first place in 2014. AIS was also in the top 5 every year.

This year, the competition was amongst 420 international teams. There were three rounds of judging served by seven scientists (chemist, physicist, geologist, environmentalist, molecular biologist and biochemist) from all over the world. Three professors from The University of Wisconsin assessed the five finalist projects and interviewed the competitors via skype in order to decide on the 1^st place winner. Through hard work, persistence and commitment to excellence, AIS Kuwait students have captured the first-place award “The Champion’s League Award 2018” as well as first place in the categories of Biology, Chemistry and Research and had 5 teams in the top 20!

The winning team members, Tisya Goel and Rushmeet Singh, from Grade8 researched how activated carbon can remove water impurities. They studied the effect of the mass of activated carbon on the concentration of impurities (iodine and chlorine) in water, in order to determine the best way to produce pure water from contaminated sources. Top-notch experimental design frustratingly did not yield the expected results, so the students inquired further through research and additional experimentation to explain their original data.
The students’ determination and analytical work paid off and they were awarded first place overall. Congratulations!

The other 5 teams in the top 20:

6th place overall and 2nd place in Chemistry: Amara Qabazard studied the effect of temperature on the denaturation of egg white protein.
7th place overall and 1st place in Biology:  Razan Al Awadhi and Shaikha Boodai studied the decomposition rates of different fruits and vegetables within soil.
9th place overall:   Mark Akl and Ralph Zein studied the effect of wind speed on rate of cooling of a body of water covered with different pollutants.
16th place overall: Loulwa Al Sabah and Tala Yehia studied the effect of dust on plant leaves on the rate of photosynthesis.

Congratulations to all! Looking forward to another successful NVSEF award.
