What is Science Olympiad?

The goal of Science Olympiad is to improve the quality of science education through competitions similar to sporting events.  Just as students are motivated to compete in various sporting activities, students compete as a team against other schools in different events that range the spectrum of science subjects.  What’s more, our events are inquiry based and have been designed to correlate with the National Science Education Standards and the Sunshine State Standards.  We are the only science competition listed in the national standards as an exemplary implementation of inquiry and assessment. More info…

How Do We Form A Team?

Its easy! Teams can be comprised of up to 15 students and any school can have as many teams as they would like. Homeschools, private schools, and public schools are welcomed and encouraged to join us! Each team pays a registration fee, you will receive the rules, and then your team starts to prepare.
