HKISO
Hong Kong International Science Olympiad
The Hong Kong International Science Olympiad (HKISO) is a prestigious global science
competition, regarded as one of the strongest worldwide.
It aims to spark curiosity and a spirit of discovery, enhance understanding of scientific progress
over centuries, encourage the integration of ideas and disciplines, and inspire the pursuit of
truth. One of the key components of the competition is the “Scientific Experiment,” where
participants create a short 5-minute video on a specific scientific topic.
Participants from around the world can also share their scientific knowledge with one another.
Subjects Covered: HKISO consists of four main categories: Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and
Integrated Science. These categories closely follow the scientific curricula taught in schools
around the world and assess the students’ knowledge along with a recorded scientific
experiment. This structure enables participants to prepare thoroughly across various categories
and better understand their strengths and areas for improvement.
Eligible Grades
