TUYMAADA OLYMPIAD HISTORY
The history of Tuymaada International Olympiad (formerly
Tuymaada Summer School in the field of natural sciences)
for gifted students dates back to the summer of 1993. It was
organized at "Ogonek" Camp. The first headmaster was Ivan
Prokhorov, Honored Teacher of the Russian Soviet Federative
Socialist Republic and Holder of the Order of the Companions of
Honor. After the success of the first summer school, the Olympiad
for secondary school students from different countries became
an annual event. In 1994, the Olympiad was officially renamed
the "Tuymaada International Olympiad in Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry and Informatics" and the official emblem (a squirrel)
was adopted.
During the first few years, Tuymaada Olympiad was hosted
by the Bosikov Higher School of Music of the Republic of Sakha
(Yakitia). The school was named after Vasily Bosikov, the first rector
of the school, Honored
Culture Worker of the
Russian Federation.
By the way, this year, in
2018, the Higher School of
Music is also celebrating its
25th anniversary.
Since 2002, Tuymaada
Olympiad is based in
"Lensky Kray" Physics and
Mathematics Forum and
Oktyom Lyceum.
