It aims to teach students with not-taught-in-schools lessons. There are six subjects in the World Scholar\u2019s Cup curriculum and the questions require critical thinking with basic knowledge rather than memorisation. The six subjects are as follow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Science &amp; Technology<\/li>\n<li>Literature &amp; Media<\/li>\n<li>Art &amp; Music<\/li>\n<li>Special Area (custom each year)<\/li>\n<li>History<\/li>\n<li>Social Studies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The World Scholar\u2019s Cup has three rounds: the Regional Rounds, the Global Round and the Tournament of Champions. The community events allow participants to have fun and mingle with other participants from different teams.<\/p>\n<p>All Regional Round consist of four team events, as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Scholar\u2019s Bowl<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 every team competes in the theatre with a clicker solving analytic questions and multimedia challenges which every question harder than the ones before<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Collaborative Writing<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 every team answers three questions out of the six questions given, one question each, within 1.5 hours (30 minutes discussion with teammates, 45 minutes writing, 15 minutes editing one another\u2019s work)<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Scholar\u2019s Challenge<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 each participant answers a 120-question multiple choice exam within 60 minutes. Students can mark more than one answer per question, tho there is only one answer. The fewer answer mark, the more points are earned if the answer is correct. In this challenge, students can win a medal in each subject.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Team Debate<\/em><\/strong>\u2013 each team debates three times across all subjects with 15 minutes of research time and 12 minutes of speaking time (4 minutes each).
