Science Olympiad is a nationwide competition where students who are passionate about science and STEM subjects come together to form teams from their schools and participate in events with scientific themes, which include a wide variety of topics from astronomy to building mousetrap cars.

​

Science Olympiad has three types of events: study, for which competitors study topics and then take a test about that topic as described in that year's events catalog; lab, for which competitors complete a laboratory experiment and then proceed to answer some questions about the topic; and build, for which teams build contraptions before the competition and then present their creations before judges on the day of.

​

Science Olympiad members can join anywhere from one to multiple events given that the event times do not overlap during the day of the competition. Go ahead and take a look at the 2018-19 SciOly event catalog and see if there's one or more events you're interested in - and if there's one you like, come join our club and compete in that event!
