Greenwood High Student Selected Among Global Winners of CERN's Prestigious Beamline for Schools Competition

Bengaluru, September 5, 2026 : Greenwood High International School takes immense pride in announcing that Aarush Mandala, a Grade 12 student, has been selected as one of the winners of the 13th edition of Beamline for Schools (BL4S), an international physics competition organized by CERN (The European Organization for Nuclear Research).
Beamline for Schools (BL4S) is a globally recognized competition that challenges secondary school students to design innovative scientific experiments using particle accelerator beams. The competition encourages young minds to explore fundamental questions in physics through hands-on research and experimentation.
In the 13th edition of the competition held recently, only five winning teams from across the globe were selected from a highly competitive pool of entries. As part of this remarkable achievement, Aarush and his team will have the unique opportunity to conduct their proposed experiment at some of the world's most renowned scientific research facilities, including CERN in Switzerland, DESY in Germany, and the University of Bonn.
This accomplishment places Aarush among an elite group of young researchers whose scientific curiosity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities have been recognized on an international stage. The opportunity to work with accelerator beams and collaborate within world-class research environments is a significant milestone in any aspiring scientist's academic journey.
Commenting on this achievement, Niru Agarwal, Vice Chairperson and Managing Trustee, Greenwood High said "At Greenwood High, we believe in empowering students to think critically, question boldly, and engage with real-world challenges. Aarush's achievement exemplifies the spirit of curiosity and excellence that we strive to cultivate in every learner. We congratulate him on this extraordinary accomplishment and look forward to witnessing his continued contributions to the world of science and innovation."
Aarush's success underscores the growing impact of experiential learning and research opportunities in school education. It also serves as an inspiration to young learners aspiring to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
As Greenwood High celebrates this remarkable achievement, the school remains committed to fostering an environment where students are encouraged to nurture inquiry-driven learning, scientific exploration, and global citizenship.
