Students will work in teams to investigate and solve various challenges, incorporating skills from science, technology, engineering, and mechanics. The course will develop student capacities in leadership, group work, scientific method, and use of technology. The course will conclude with a science challenge focused on shared areas of interest for small groups of students. Events will include several topics under the categories of life, personal and social science, earth and space science, physical science and chemistry, technology and engineering, and inquiry and nature of science. It is expected that students who enroll in this course participate in the Science Olympiad held at a UW campus in April each year.
