Students interested in Science Olympiad should plan to attend the annual Interest Meeting in October, with Mr. Regensburger in Room 27. Practices are held regularly, beginning in late October, with meeting days and times varying by event. All information for students who have signed up is available in Google Classroom. Interested students are encouraged to visit the North Carolina Science Olympiad website.

The mission of Science Olympiad is to promote and improve student interest in Science and to improve the quality of K-12 Science education throughout the nation.

The Science Olympiad vision to accomplish this mission is:

To create a passion for learning Science by supporting elementary and secondary Science Olympiad tournaments at building, district, county, state, and national levels, with an emphasis on teamwork and a commitment to excellence.
To improve the quality of K-12 Science education throughout the nation by changing the way Science is perceived and the way it is taught, with an emphasis on problem-solving and hands-on, minds-on Constructivist learning practices. This goal is accomplished through in-depth core curriculum training workshops and the distribution of curriculum materials to thousands of teachers.
To celebrate and recognize the outstanding achievement of both students and teachers in the areas of Science and Technology by awarding thousand of certificates, medals, trophies, and scholarships.
To promote partnerships among the community, businesses, industry, government, and education.

The specific purposes of Science Olympiad tournaments are:

To bring Science to life, to show how Science works, to emphasize problem-solving aspects of Science and the understanding of Science concepts.
To develop teamwork and cooperative learning strategies among students.
To make Science education more exciting so more students will enroll in Science courses and engage in other Science activities like Science reading, fairs, meetings, and field trips.
To promote high levels of achievement and a commitment to excellence and to demonstrate that American students can perform at levels that surpass the expectations of even practicing scientists and engineers.
To attract more students, particularly females and minorities, to professional and technical careers in Science, Technology, and Science teaching.

The first meeting will occur in early October. The exact date is TBD.

Please contact Mr. Regensburger or Mr. Diaz for additional information.
