A challenging experience

Nordsjællends Grundskole & Gymnasium & HF

Det var underholdende, medrivende og lærerigt. Det var samtidig rart med lidt variation i undervisning.

Silkeborg Gymnasium

Students very much appreciate PetroChallenge. The competition contributes to enhance students skills in several scientific disciplines, economics, environmental issues, English language and social skills such as team work. Software programs rarely add anything extra to gymnasium education like PetroChallenge does.

Meaningful and interesting for the students - it's a game, but with a real background. Real places, real prices. Real demands on environmental issues. Very good. A break in usual scheduled learning.
