Thank you to all the students that tried out for the team this year. You all did a great job! As you are aware, not everyone will make the team, but we want to encourage those of you that did not make it this year to try out again next year. For our 9th graders that did not make the team, realize that it is incredibly hard to choose just five of you. If you did not make the Middle School team , we encourage you to join the High School team.

 

We were really impressed with all of the effort that was put forth this year. No matter if your name is on this list or not, we encourage all of you to keep going with the same drive and determination in all that you do.

 

 

Congratulations to those of you that made the team.

 An email will be sent soon to all team members with more information, directions, and your first assignment. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL IF YOU MADE THE TEAM!

What is Science Olympiad?

Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division (Division B is middle school; Division C is high school). Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation. Through Science Olympiad, students, teachers, parents, principals and business leaders bond together and work toward a shared goal.

Teamwork is a required skill in most scientific careers today, and Science Olympiad encourages group learning by designing events that forge alliances. In Elevated Bridge, an engineering whiz and a kid from wood shop can become gold medalists. Similarly, a talented builder and a student with a good science vocabulary can excel in Write It Do It, one of Science Olympiad's most popular events.

The culmination of nearly 300 Regional and State tournaments (and about 165 practice Invitationals!) is the Science Olympiad National Tournament, held at a different university each year. This rotating system gives students the opportunity to visit new parts of the country and tour colleges they might consider for their undergraduate studies, and provides a memorable experience that lasts a lifetime.
