SUMMARY:Sigulda Puzzle Day
DESCRIPTION:20.09.2024. \nSigulda Puzzle Day is a logic game adapted from Harvard University\, where it has already become a tradition. Students are invited to solve the most challenging logic puzzles during the game using their creativity and problem-solving skills. The tasks are designed to be fun and engaging\, encouraging participants to think critically and apply their knowledge of logic. \n\n  \nSigulda 10th graders\, representing their school in teams of 4 students\, are invited to participate in the first Puzzle Day in Sigulda. Students will be given ten logic problems to solve in three hours. Each task has only one correct answer\, and that is one word. Students can use the internet to complete the tasks. The team with the most correct answers in the shortest time wins the game. The three teams with the highest scores will receive prizes from the game’s sponsors. \n  \nThrough this initiative\, Sigulda Municipality and Riga Business School want to encourage more young people to: \n\nDevelop problem-solving and creative thinking in students;\nEngage students in solving logic problems as a basis for further learning of programming;\nEncourage students’ collaborative problem-solving skills;\nTo stimulate students’ interest in information technology and programming.\n\n  \nTo emphasise that computer science is not just about programming\, but about problem solving\, none of the tasks require programming experience. \nSee a sample task\n  \nWhile students solve the logic problems\, teachers can attend informative and engaging sessions to enhance their personal and professional competencies. \n  \nAgenda: \n9:00-9:30 Registration and refreshments \n9:30-9:45 Opening \n9:45-10:00 Instruction on tasks \n10:00-13:00 Task-solving / Teacher sessions \n13:00-14:00 Entertainment stands from event sponsors (while the results are being compiled) \n14:00-14:45 Explanation of correct answers \n14:45-15:15 Announcement of results and awards \n  \nInformation about the logic game has been sent to all secondary schools in Sigulda.
