HUSO-China

The premier science competition hosted by Harvard Undergraduate Science Olympiad is coming to Shanghai, China for the first time!

Welcome to HUSO China

Our mission is to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and introduce young minds to the vast and interconnected world of STEM. Participants first begin with open-round examinations that challenges students to apply what they’ve learned in unique and interesting ways and encourages them to build a strong foundation across STEM. Qualifying candidates are then invited to a week-long STEM camp run by Harvard Undergraduate Science Olympiad (HUSO). Through hands-on experiences, mentorship from experts, and exposure to cutting-edge topics they may have never encountered before, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for the power of interdisciplinary science.

We are excited to host HUSO China 2025 together with High Leap Education ( 合励教育 ). Join us as we redefine the way students engage with STEM and cultivate the innovators of tomorrow.
