How ICAS helped this student change the world

There are so many “naughty” students out there that who are bursting with talent. They just need the right opportunities.

Adam Ritchie (middle) was one such student. He was constantly in trouble for “rough and tumble” and failing to put in any effort, until he took ICAS Science and got a perfect 100% score.

When he left school, he did something even more incredible: he made the world a safer place for everyone.

Join our #ICAS2024 virtual celebration!

To celebrate your child or student’s ICAS 2024 achievements, we invite you to submit a picture or video of them holding their certificates or medals. We’d also love to hear what they enjoyed most about competing in ICAS 2024, or why you’re proud of their achievements.

Be as creative as you can be! (Check out the video on the left for inspiration from last year).

We’ll share submissions on our social media page and website, which you can re-share to show how proud you are of them.

Submissions will close on 15 December.
