The Korea Times featured Olivia Shin, a 14-year-old Calgary student who won first place in the 11–14 age category of the 2026 Science Without Borders® Challenge. The story highlights her charcoal artwork, The Giant and the Invisible: A Story of Ocean Recycling, which illustrates how microorganisms recycle nutrients and sustain deep-sea ecosystems following a whale fall.
Announcing the 15th Annual Science Without Borders® Challenge: Navigate with Care
Every day, fishing boats, ferries, sailboats, kayaks, research vessels, cargo ships, whales, sea turtles, dolphins, seabirds, and countless other marine animals share the same waters. While people rely on the ocean for transportation, recreation, research, fishing, and exploration, it is also home to some of the most diverse and important ecosystems on Earth.
That simple but powerful idea is the inspiration behind the 15th Annual Science Without Borders® Challenge.
