Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad is a team-based competition where 15 students from a school work together on 23 different science events against other schools. The events cover many different science disciplines, some based on study and books, others based on hands-on engineering and building. Practice occurs throughout the year. Competitions last all day and end with an Olympic-style awards ceremony, complete with medals and trophies. A team can qualify at their regional tournament for the state competition. At the state competition, teams compete for a chance to go to the national competition against the best-of-the-best from other states. Students learn hard work, teamwork, fun and laughter, and a lot of science.
