Dóra Björg Björnsdóttir, participant
Framhaldsskólinn í Austur-Skaftafellssýslu
PetroChallenge makes it possible to learn a lot just in a few hours. And the participants are learning many subjects at the same time, e.g. English, Geology and Maths

Framhaldsskólinn í Austur-Skaftafellssýslu
The method of teaching is different. But I see this is a part of the school environment in the 21st century; how the students work together. It stimulates the students and they learn a lot.
