Science Olympiad
|
|
Description: The Science Olympiad is a nationwide organization dedicated to promoting science education through conducting competitive science tournaments. An SO tournament is much different than a traditional science fair. A science fair is intense, individual, and quiet. A Science Olympiad tournament is full of yells, cheers, and enthusiasm. The club will meet throughout the week depending on the events you choose to participate in. Meeting times will generally begin after school and may get out as late as 6:00 pm during the week. Practices will be typically be scheduled on Wednesdays and Fridays along with 1-2 Saturdays per month. Tuesdays may be added for some events.
The competition is comprised of 23 events from 3 main categories - testing, science skill based, and engineering/building. Students typically compete with a partner in 2 to 4 events. HS students can compete on the HS team and/or act as coaches for the MS team.
