International Soroban & Mental Arithmetic (Anzan) Competition - Sibiu 2026

 

WELCOME !

An educational event dedicated to children and adolescents who are training their minds, perseverance, and ability to perform in an international setting.

The International Soroban & Anzan Competition organized by Logiclub is more than a contest of mathematical skills. It is an educational experience that challenges children to test their concentration, calculation speed and emotional self-control in a structured, safe and motivating environment.

By participating in such an event, children develop not only cognitive abilities, but also the courage to face the emotions of competition, manage pressure and realistically assess their own level of preparation.

Why an international Soroban & Anzan competition?

Why this experience matters

Participating in an international setting helps children strengthen discipline, sustained attention and the ability to make fast and accurate decisions under pressure.
