Genius Olympiad is an international high school project competition about environmental issues. It is founded and organized by Terra Science and Education, USA.
In Ghana, the selection process was organized by the Centre for Natural Science Olympiad with support from the Ghana Education Service, Melody FM in Takoradi and HBY Mining Service.
GSTS was selected to represent Ghana for emerging first, second and third in a robotic competition held in Accra.
Fredrick Osei-Bobbie, Director, Centre of Natural Science Olympiad who disclosed this to DAILY GUIDE noted that while in USA, the students who would be assisted by four leaders would be expected to work on an emergency response robot to evacuate victims of natural disaster.
