New & Perspective Coaches - Let's Meet!
Founded in 1984, Science Olympiad is a national, premier STEM competition which provides standards-based challenges to 6,300 teams at 425 tournaments in all 50 states. In grades 6-12, Science Olympiad consists of a series of 23 team events in each division (Division B is middle school; Division C is high school).
