Bending Light & Breaking Barriers: Bangladesh’s Physics Olympiad Adventure

The International Physics Olympiad is the World Cup of physics—five-hour theory marathons, hands-on experimental puzzles, and a global village of teen scientists. Bangladesh joined in 2011 and has since grown from plucky newcomer to consistent medal winner.

What the contest looks like

  • Theory exam: three elegant but diabolical problems across mechanics, E&M, quantum, astro—derive, model, argue.
  • Experimental exam: MacGyver mode—measure, align, analyze, present. Real lab skills under pressure.

Bangladesh enters the chat

Debut in 2011 (Thailand), “Best Newcomer” on the first try. Since then: a growing pipeline of regional/national contests, university-hosted training camps, and alumni mentors. Milestones include multiple Bronzes and several Silvers—proof that our students can spar with the best.

Why you’ll love it

  • Deeper understanding: concepts become intuition; you start to “feel” the physics.
  • Hands-on chops: real experiments, real data, real troubleshooting.
  • Global community: friends, jerseys, and future lab collaborators from around the world.

Train with us

Our Physics Olympiad prep covers mechanics to modern physics plus experimental strategy—so the five-hour papers feel like home turf.
