Russia (bbabo.net), - Students in grades 1-4 will be able to become the hero of a fascinating story by solving riddles at an underwater station and getting to a desert island by becoming participants in the All-Russian online Olympiads for elementary school.

Organizers of intellectual games - Yandex.Uchebnik together with the Center for Pedagogical Excellence with the support of the Ministry of Education of Russia.

Olympiads in three subjects - Russian language, mathematics and the world around us are combined into a single series of online Olympiads. All students will be able to pass the "quest", regardless of their level of knowledge.

The tasks are united by a common plot: the participants arrive at the underwater station, where the captain meets them. Schoolchildren complete assignments as they move around the ship, helping with research, going out into the open ocean and protecting the station from the cunning Glitch. The most attentive will be able to find a desert island and even visit it.

An interactive story quest allows the child to learn in a digital language they know. Assignments clearly show how the knowledge gained in school can be applied in life. For example, tasks in mathematics are focused on solving practical life situations, tasks in the "environment" introduce kids to scientific methods of studying the world, and in Russian, emoticons and everyday phrases familiar to all children are used.

The main tour will start on February 21, and before that, you can try your hand at a trial tour. The results of all the Olympiads will be summed up on April 26.

- Our country is one of the world leaders in the development of the Olympiad movement. Children of all ages participate in it, - commented Anastasia Zyryanova, Deputy Minister of Education. - This is the All-Russian Olympiad for schoolchildren - the most massive intellectual competition for children, and a wide variety of other Olympiads, intellectual, creative competitions. We welcome projects that give students even more opportunities for self-development and self-realization from an early age, increase their motivation to study.

According to the scientific director of the Center for Pedagogical Excellence in Moscow, Ivan Yashchenko, children's interest in learning and curiosity are formed just in elementary school.

- In elementary school olympiads, children do not compete with each other. Their rivals are our interesting tasks, and the plot of each of them is a look at the school subject from a slightly different angle, an invitation to the wonderful world of science. Each problem solved is already a small victory.

Students from grades 1 to 4 can participate in the Olympiad, a teacher or parent can register a child. For first-graders, all tasks are accompanied by voice acting.

60 minutes are given to solve the tasks in each subject. In the trial round, the time for solving problems is not limited.
