Republican tournaments of young physicists form and temper students for further scientific work
From February 17-20 in Minsk, “Belarusian State University Lyceum” hosted the 31st
Republican Tournament of young physicists with the help of (information and communication) technologies of interaction.
During the tournament, students demonstrated their skills to solve research tasks, conduct experiments, present their results accordingly, prove their point of view in public discussions.
The tournament consisted of “physics” bouts and students had to present their researches on given tasks and take the roles of adversaries and reviewers for other participants.
The judges were led by Nikolai Poklonski, Professor of the Department of Solid State Physics of the Faculty of Physics of the Belarusian State University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Among the panel of judges were teachers from general secondary education facilities and leading scientific stuff from institutions of higher education.
As result of hard and fascinating competitions involving demonstrations of attractive experiments, the team of 11 graders representing “Belarusian State University Lyceum” won a first degree diploma.
Diplomas of the II degree were awarded to the team of students from the Nesvizh region; a team of students of the 10th grade of the State Educational Establishment “Lyceum of the Belarusian State University”; team No. 1 of students of the Lyceum of the Belarusian National Technical University.

Lyudnikov".
Congratulations to every contestant with their perfect solutions and to winners with their victory.
Good luck to the winners of the tournament in the preliminaries for participation in the International Tournament of Young Physicists!
For information: the first tournaments of young physicists (TUF) were held at the Faculty of Physics of Moscow State University. Having the same strategic goal as the Olympiads - the search, selection and development of gifted youth, the tournaments of young physicists use a different creative tactic. One of the most important advantages of the tournament is the atmosphere of an open, uncompromising public scientific discussion, which does not leave indifferent any of the participants or spectators, it forms and tempers young physicists for further scientific work.
Since 1992, TUVs have become one of the components of the national program for working with gifted students in physics.
