Description

The focus of any Olympiad or Competition must be to identify local talent in various fields, and once done, it is necessary to develop a system of monitoring and supporting this talent. In this talk I will take a brief look at how SAPhO has managed this in the past and what needs to be done in the future. It is now possible to use on-line Olympiads and so increase the footprint of these Olympiads, and research is currently underway to evaluate these. It will also be possible to create and manage large databases to improve the analysis of results and method of monitoring successful students using these databases. I will also look at challenges in reaching targeted rural areas and the security of on-line STEMI Olympiads and Competitions.
