The Eurekas
Rated Intermediate, this online creative-physics competition is open to students aged 11–16 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Entrants respond individually to the published theme with a physics-based idea or explanation for judging. The main challenge is connecting sound scientific reasoning to an imaginative real-world proposal and communicating it clearly without relying on an elaborate laboratory project.
