Students from Danielsen upper secondary school in Bergen were the winners of this year’s prestigious Natural Science Award. This week they got to visit the Statfjord A platform in the North Sea.

The competition tasks are prepared in accordance with target student competency levels in physics and chemistry.

The prize, a grant of NOK 50,000 paid to the winners’ class, must be used to fund a scientific excursion or event. The students who win the national award also get to visit a North Sea platform.
