Science Olympiad is a competition that consists of 23 team events for each division. For instance, Division B is for middle school and Division C is for high school. The competitions, each year, rotate to “reflect [the] ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering, and technology”. It gives students an opportunity to get involved and learn how to work with others.
