The APTJSO is an annual competition that targets gifted students aged between 13 to 15 years from the APT region to compete in the demonstration of Biology, Chemistry and Physics laboratory skills, collaborate with other students from other member countries in a mixed-nation group project presentation and also in a country-based group poster presentation competition.
APTJSO provides opportunities for students to share ideas and experiences while developing their ability to conduct research and cultivate creativity in the field of Science and Technology.
