Canadian School of Tashkent. CST finalists present at the International Greenwich Olympiad.
News · May 2026 · London
A team of CST students traveled to London to represent the Canadian School of Tashkent at the International Greenwich Olympiad (IGO) 2026, presenting their research and creative projects before an international panel. From environmental engineering to film-making, public speaking, and social research, our finalists carried their ideas, and their flag, onto a global stage.
Across two days, our students set up project booths, fielded questions from judges and visitors, and stood alongside young innovators from around the world. The trip was as much about confidence, curiosity, and representing Uzbekistan as it was about the awards.
Our finalists.
The projects our students brought to London spanned the Olympiad's categories, a reflection of the breadth of work happening across CST classrooms.
