Olympiads
International Space Olympiad
A global quiz competition in space science and technology for students in Grades 5 to 12, taken online from anywhere in the world.
National Space Quiz
A nationwide competition testing students' knowledge on astronomy, space missions, astrophysics, and space history across junior, senior, and open categories.
About the quiz
The National Space Quiz invites students from across the country to test what they know about space, from how stars shine to the missions that have explored the Solar System. It rewards curiosity and wide reading as much as classroom study.
Categories
The quiz runs in three categories, so that participants compete with others at a similar stage:
- Junior
- Senior
- Open
Topics
- Astronomy: the Sun, Moon, planets, stars, galaxies and the night sky.
- Space missions: crewed and robotic missions, what they set out to do and what they found.
- Astrophysics: the physics behind how objects in space behave.
- Space history: the people, milestones and discoveries that shaped space exploration.
