"Young Mathematician" Olympiad

Armenia's national olympiad system currently excludes students below Grade 7, cutting off early talent identification at a critical age. The Foundation is launching its own national-level math olympiad for Grades 5–6, open to top-performing students from all regions. The program includes a national competition judged by a professional jury, followed by intensive summer and autumn olympiad schools at PhysMath for selected students. This directly mirrors the China model: identify gifted students early and place them in a structured, competitive pipeline. Budget: 1,195,000 AMD (~$3,100) for 50 participants in year one.

Program Focus
