Getting Started

Content goes here The Science Olympiad is an international nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers. Teams of 15 students work on their teamwork and problem solving throughout the year in preparation for each of the events. There are multiple events in earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, computers and technology that follow the format of popular board games, TV shows, and athletic games. Events in the Science Olympiad have been designed to recognize the wide variety of skills that students possess. While some events require knowledge of scientific facts and concepts, others rely on science processes, skills or applications.

If you answer yes to two or more of the questions below, then we invite you to become part of the renaissance in science education by starting a Science Olympiad team in your school, district or state. We would like to share the excitement and successes that have been experienced at Science Olympiad Tournaments all across the country.
