What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is a nation-wide competition where teams of 15 students representing their school work throughout the year to build, study, and experiment. There are invitational competitions (for practice) and a regional, state, and national level competition near the end of the school year, during which students show off what they've learned all year by competing with other schools. There are 23 events to compete in, and each event requires 2-3 students to represent the entire team. The team who does best overall in all 23 events wins the competition. This year, there are a few different models depending on COVID-19 restrictions for our district and state. Two possibilities are Satellite SO which would mean in person competitions with all events, or Mini SO which means we would only compete in events that could be done virtually. Despite all the changes, our goal for next season is still to get to Nationals! We got this! |

Our Team
We have been a Science Olympiad team since 1987. Our team is very active in helping to coach Slauson Middle School's Science Olympiad, and helped them get to Nationals in 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022. In 2019, we made it to Nationals for the first time since 1994 with the hard work of our team and lots of help from parents, teachers, and coaches.

To join the team, pick out a few events that you are interested in and that don't conflict when the registration form comes out. To be on the main team, you must pick more 3 or more events to actively participate in, but if you can't commit that much time, you are welcome to choose one or two events to be a part of until December. You won't be able to compete on the main team, but you will still learn a lot about those subjects and have a great experience. We will have a virtual meeting where we talk about the logistics of this year sometime in early September if you want to learn more!
