China Adolescents Science & Technology Innovation Contest



China Adolescents Science & Technology Innovation Contest (CASTIC; ) is one of the biggest national science competitions in China held by organizations including China Association for Science and Technology and Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China. Every year, more than 10 million students from all parts of China submit their projects in local-level competitions and up to 500 projects are eventually selected for the CASTIC.
