SCIENCE OLYMPIAD
Irvington's Competitive Science Club
WHAT IS SCIENCE OLYMPIAD?
Science Olympiad allows students to cross-train for 23 team events covering various topics of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering, and technology. Unlike other STEM competitions, Science Olympiad places an emphasis on active, hands-on group participation. In addition to knowledge-based tests that assess students' abilities to retain information and mathematically analyze data, build events offer competitors the chance to perform experiments and engineer unique devices. With each event allowing two to three participants, Science Olympiad promotes student teamwork, problem-solving, and collaboration.
With exciting competitive tournaments at the regional, state, and national levels, Science Olympiad creates numerous opportunities for students to develop and showcase practical, subject-matter expertise in STEM, paving the way for future careers in pre-health, engineering, research, and more.
