Comment: Sources should be added in ref tags, not as external links in the body. See WP:Referencing for beginners, and many of the sources (like Newsbreak, Medium or other wikis) shouldn't be used. Prose should also be made a little more encyclopedic. Good luck! Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 21:52, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
The International Astronomy Olympiad] (IAO) [1] is an annual] astronomy educational event for 14-18 year olds from different countries, including an intellectual competition.[citation needed] But a exception happened in 2017, a boy from Bangladesh named Abdullah Al Junayed, aged 14, received Diploma I at the XXII International Astronomy Olympiad.[citation needed]
International Astronomy Olympiad is one of the international Olympiad for schoolchildren. One of the main tasks of the IAO is to attract talented young people around the globe to solve the problems of astronomy and natural sciences.[1]
The Olympiad is held annually during the first two months of astronomical autumn at an observatory, scientific research centre (city) or institute of one of the participating countries. The Olympiad is held in 3 rounds: theoretical, observational and practical.[1] The Olympiad is designed for schoolchildren of adolescence, when interest in astronomy is most actively developing.[citation needed] Then preparation for participation still represents useful and targeted training, without becoming an end in itself and a kind of training.[citation needed] This is the fundamental idea of the International Astronomy Olympiad.[citation needed]
Teams from Armenia, Bulgaria, Brazil, China, Crimea, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Moscow, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Thailand, Croatia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Ukraine, Estonia, United States of America participated in the International Astronomy Olympiads.
