Eco-Olympics is a free, digital knowledge competition for schools across the country, focusing on the topics of environment, ecology and sustainability, climate reality. Every year, thousands of students from all over Slovakia participate in the competition. In the last edition, registered 6 320 pupils and students z nearly 270 schools. The students played 1.8 million questions, with the correct answers 1.28 million. The most successful participants received prizes made from recycled ocean plastic, underlining the environmental nature of the competition.

The game is organised once a year and is open to students in the second cycle of primary and secondary schools. The Eco-Olympics allows students to gain new knowledge about current environmental challenges in a playful way. Although the environment is not a separate subject in schools, our game provides an interactive format that complements traditional school Olympiads.

In the future, we plan to expand the competition to other countries to reach an even wider audience and promote global environmental education.
