January 2017

Participation in the Talent Search is open to all. For 2017 schools with adequate connectivity can take part online. Schools that lack internet access can use the pen-and-paper version of the same test which does not require the use of a computer at all.

The 2017 Talent Search will be offered at four levels:

• Junior: grades 7 and below • Intermediate: grades 8 and 9 • Senior: grades 10 and 11 • Elite: grade 12 and higher

For the lower grades and for the grades 10 and 11 the Talent Search is an excellent opportunity to develop Computational Thinking. For the grade 9s it will help in subject choices for grade 10. For the grade 12s it will help with the choice of a career and further studies.

Rewards: Certificates are awarded to the participants with above average scores.

The names of top learners are forwarded to the Department of Science and Technology and to the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation so that qualifying learners can be invited to Science Camps and can be considered for Allan Gray Scholarships.

Talent Search dates for 2017: Monday 6 to Friday 10 March Register at www.olympiad.org.za
