Participants will be assessed on their understanding of the anatomy and physiology for the Respiratory, Digestive, and Immune systems of the human body.
Teams will demonstarte an understanding of stellar evolution from formation to destruction.
Participants will demonstrate their knowledge of plant life and general botany principles.
Teams will crytanalyze and decode encrypted messages using cryptanalysis techniques for historical and modern advanced ciphers.
Teams will answer questions, solve problems, and analyze data pertaining to classic, evolutionary, and molecular genetics.
Participants will use thier investigative skills in the scientific study of disease, injury, health, and disability in populations or groups of people.
Teams will complete tasks related to Earth's fresh water systems.
Participants will use remote imagery, data, and computational process skills to complete tasks related to climate change processe in the Earth system.
Teams will identify and classify rocks and minerals and demonstrate knowledge of how rocks and minerals help to understand geologic processes, interpretation of Earth's history, the development of natural resources,a dn use by society.
Build Events
Build Events
Teams will design and build a cantilevered beam or truss structure that extends from a vertical testing wall and supports a load at a specified distance from the testing wall. The structure must meet the requirements specified in the rules to achieve the highest score, which is a combination of strucural efficiency and load scored bonus.
Teams design, build, and test one vehicle that uses electrical energy as its sole means of propulsion to travel as quickly as possible and stop close to a target point.
Prior to the competition, participants will design, construct, and calibrate a self-propelled air-levitated vehicle that moves down a track.
Prior to the competition, participants design, build, test, and document a Rube Goldberg®- like Device that completes required Start and Final Actions through a series of specific actions.
Prior to the tournament, teams will design, build, and bring up to three bottle rockets to the tournament to launch a ping pong ball attached to a parachute to stay aloft for the greatest amount of time.

Hands-On Events
Hands-On Events
Teams will complete one or more tasks and answer a series of questions involving the science processes of chemistry focused in the areas of chemical reactions/stoichiometry and kinetics.
Teams will read a set of engineering drawings and collaborate to CAD parts in Onshape and then incorporate these parts with provided components to create an assembly.
This event will determine the participant's ability to design, conduct, and report the findings of an experiment entirely on-site.
Given a scenario and possible suspects, students will perform a series of tests. These tests, along with other evidence or test results, will be used to solve a crime.
Hybrid Events
Hybrid Events
Participants must complete tasks and answer questions about electricity and magnetism.
Participants will use computer visualization and online resources to construct a physical model of a protein that is being used with CRISPR Cas9 to edit plant and animal genomes.
Teams must construct an insulating device prior to the tournament that is designed to retain heat and complete a written test on thermodynamic concepts.
Participants will be assessed on their understanding and evaluation of freshwater aquatic environments.
