YOU MAY NEED TO KNOW
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to participate as a school?
All types of schools, private and public, including virtual schools are welcome. But you don't have to participate as a school. We welcome any teams of 5, including from after-school societies, extracurricular clubs and communities, or even just join with 4 other friends to form a team of 5.
Can a team participate from a physical classroom?
Yes, you can participate in the online Olympiad matches from a physical classroom. This may even have a positive effect on team dynamics.
Our tech team will ensure that your school is well-prepared for the event.
Should all team members be from the same grade?
No, the teams can consist of students from different grades as long as they are between 8 and 11 years old.
Will someone supervise each online match?
Yes, there will be a GAME MASTER, either a teacher or a child psychologist, in each online match to ensure that the competition rules are being adhered to and to provide guidance to teams during their challenges.
Does a team need to train before the event?
Training before the event is not a prerequisite, although schools that follow our training programs are more likely to manage the challenges in the competition more effectively.
How do you define the winner?
The competition will have three phases: Level 1, Level 2, and Championship Level. In each level, leagues of four or five teams, each consisting of five members, will play several rounds in the same challenge.
Teams will be scored and ranked based on their finishing position in each round. The teams with the highest cumulative score from the individual leagues will move on to the next phase. Similarly, the team with the highest score in the final will be the winner of the Champion's Award.
Judges will also conduct a qualitative evaluation during Level 2 and Championship Level based on specific criteria we will share soon. Using this evaluation, we will award six additional Power Skills Awards for communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, resilience, and emotional intelligence.
Will there be an onboarding process for our team?
We will conduct a setup session with each participating school for their official teams to understand how a NXTLVL session operates and ensure everything is set up before the event day.
Is participation for free?
Participation is free for your first four teams and $200 per additional team.
