WI Div. B Science Olympiad

Science Olympiad is an interscholastic competition designed to increase student interest and enthusiasm in science and improve the quality of science education. The Science Olympiad tournaments consist of 20-25 individual and team events which students prepare for during the school year. These challenging, fun events motivate and confront students from all ability levels with both theoretical and practical science problems. The emphasis is on participation, interaction, learning, having fun, and developing team spirit. For the past 26 years, Science Olympiad has led a revolution in science education. What began as a grassroots assembly of science teachers is now one of the premiere science competitions in the nation, providing rigorous, standards-based challenges to nearly 6,000 teams in 49 states. Science Olympiad's ever-changing event lineup provides a variety of career choices and exposure to practicing scientists and mentors. In the words of a Science Olympiad alumnus: "I consider Science Olympiad the most important and influential activity I participated in during my middle school and high school career."
