Constructing a free-standing lever catapult, tackling the biodiversity challenge, building circuits, coding a Sphero, solving an unsolvable crime, rescuing the Mole, winning the Amazing Race—sounds thrilling, doesn't it? Over 220 Cawthra students embraced the challenge this year and participated in the 4th Annual Cawthra Science Olympics on May 2nd, 2025!
This year, fifteen cross-grade teams competed in thirteen diverse and exciting events throughout the day, showcasing their skills, creativity, and determination. In addition to crunching numbers, mixing chemicals, massing balloons, and rhyming off interesting facts, students built their team spirit and got to know each other.
As last year, the highlight of the day was the VOICE Battle. For this challenge, participants were asked to create a remix of an existing song, using specific scientific vocabulary.
Congratulations to all students for participating in a successful day of science exploration at Cawthra.
After thirteen events and 5 hours of competition, the most successful team remained undecided. It all came down to the final Amazing Race relay. In this final event, all teams competed in a series of mini-events and whichever team crossed the finish line first would likely be the team to claim Cawthra’s Science Olympics Trophy.
SO, here are your champions Cawthra:
Congratulations to Team 13 Aluminumators on earning bronze, Team 15 Quantum Quokkas on securing silver, and Team 12 Avogabros on claiming the prestigious title of 2025 Cawthra Science Olympics Champions along with their gold medals!
