What is Science Olympiad?

The Washtenaw Science Olympiad is a Science competition for 2nd thru 5th graders in Washtenaw County.  So far there are 29 schools registered.  All of the events involve teamwork, group planning, and cooperation. That is the real essence of the Science Olympiad. The main goal is to learn about science through active, hands-on, group participation. The Olympiad brings students, teachers, coaches, principals, business leaders, and parents together as they work towards this common goal and provides an alternative to the “isolated scientist” stereotype. Students will see that science can be fun, exciting, and challenging and the team spirit and good sportsmanship they develop will be beneficial throughout their lives.
