Stage 2 of the Olympiad doesn’t just test knowledge; it tests how well you frame a problem and defend it.
Choosing a topic
Pick something you care about that also has enough sources. A topic that’s too broad makes the presentation shallow.
- One specific problem, not a whole field
- Something you can investigate in limited time
- Linked to a real public-health need
Presentation structure
- The problem and why it matters
- What has been done so far
- Your idea or solution
- Limitations and next steps
Rehearse
Practise at least three times in front of others and time yourself. Write down the judges’ likely questions and prepare answers in advance.
Judges don’t expect a flawless idea; they want to see how carefully you think.
