Daily Star : Bangladesh’s first-ever national physics olympiad was held 29 April at Oxford International School in Dhaka. More than 300 students from some 40 schools participated. Ten students won gold medals, six won silver, and four won bronze. The top five gold medalists will go on to the 42nd International Physics Olympiad to be held this July in Bangkok, Thailand. The international olympiad, an annual physics competition for high-school students, began in Warsaw, Poland, in 1967. This is the first time Bangladesh will participate in the event.
