Question Quest
Asking the right questions is the key to learning and discovery, and we want to foster this skill among the next generation of learners.
​
Building on our previous success, we are excited to pioneer the Question Quest, in which the best questions will be selected by a panel of judges, who are eminent experts from diverse fields of study.
​
Winners will have the privilege to have their questions answered by the judges in person at the finals on 24 February 2024, and their questions and the judges’ answers will be published in a booklet to be compiled after the competition.
​
Questions do not need to be perfect. Any questions that come out of your puzzling minds are welcome.
