Our Story
• In 2004, SIGMA Publishing House (Romania) launched the Linguistic Kangaroo Project. Currently, the contest is addressed to students in grades 1 to 12, passionate about studying foreign languages. Since 2005, the Linguistic Kangaroo contest has expanded internationally, with eight participating countries as of 2023, and counting.
• In 2007, SIGMA launched the Kangaroo Stories contest in Romanian, addressed to students in grades 1 and 2. Now students from the preparatory grade up to the 12th grade can participate in this contest, that aims at bringing young intellectuals in Romania closer to reading and testing their level and quality of text comprehension in their first language.
• Since 2010, the students in the preparatory grade, and 1st to 4th grades were offered a new game-contest: the Explorer Kangaroo. The questions for this contest emphasise on an interdisciplinary approach with a focus on sciences. More specifically, the questions are inspired by natural sciences, environmental studies, technology, civics, and geography.
• Since 2014, the Institute for the Development of Educational Assessment (IDEA) is involved in organising the Kangaroo Contests in partnership with SIGMA Publishing House.
