What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is an international non-profit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. These goals are accomplished through classroom activities, research, training workshops and the encouragement of intramural, district, state and national tournaments.
How does the competition work?
Science Olympiad teams are similar to athletic teams in that students with very diverse ethnic, racial, and gender backgrounds compete as a team, not as individuals. Science Olympiad has opportunities for elementary, middle school, and high school students. Teams of 15 students are challenged by 23 STEM-related events that span biology, earth science, chemistry, physics, engineering, and inquiry. Students usually work in pairs building devices for testing at tournaments, studying for core knowledge challenges, and preparing for rigorous hands-on lab experiments. All this work prepares them for working as a team in a future STEM career.
What are the events this year?
