Join Science Olympiad!

Tournaments: some in person, some on-line

Each participant will work on at least 2 events, or science topics, throughout the year. Each practice you will continue studying, learning, building, testing, or practicing for your events with your partner(s) in order to prepare for competition at our tournaments. Events include topics like: Disease Detectives, Meteorology, Food Science, Crime Busters, Ping Pong Parachute, Code Busters, and many more. 

"Minnesota Science Olympiad is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has a mission to promote STEM education for students in Minnesota K-12 schools by engaging communities in the thrill, excitement and challenge of science, technology, engineering and math competition. Team competition is patterned after track tournaments with challenging and motivational events ranging from earth science through physics. Events range from hands-on labs to student built machines, from outdoor events to paper and pencil tests. There is also a balance between events requiring scientific knowledge and understanding, and others requiring process and application skills. Although some events require an individual from one team to compete against other individuals from other schools, most events require teamwork, group planning, and cooperation. The emphasis is on learning, participation, interaction, having fun and team spirit." - http://www.minnesotaso.org/
