Young Einstein Club

The Young Einstein Club is for students who are interested in being challenged beyond the normal classroom expectations.

What do you have to do?

  • You must answer the question in your"Einstein Notebook." This notebook is where you will record your answersas you research your challenges. This can be any type of notebook that willkeep you organized. If you do not have a notebook, you usepaper from class. Each challenge you record should have thechallenge number, challenge question, and date by your answer. Write your report using your best handwriting- Neatness counts. I won't accept anything but your best handwriting!
  • Once you feel you are ready to answer the Einstein Challenge, see your teacherat an appropriate time to present your answer (recess, lunch, or afterschool).
  • Answer the challenge in front of your teacher without looking at yourpaper (from memory).

You can become a 1 star member, all the way up to a 146 star member! Once you have reached 15 stars, you will become an Einstein All-StarMember and your name will be placed on our All-Star Member board and website.
Are you ready for the Einstein Challenge? You can use theinternet(If you use the internet, be sure to get your parent's permission first!)or a reference book.

Good Luck!
