Description: Join our team as we prepare to compete in the Minnesota Science Olympiad Middle School Competition. The Science Olympiad will have 23 science and engineering events including some that test students' knowledge of fossils, rocks, forestry, weather, and astronomy or their skill with ciphers by decrypting a message, ability to communicate how to build something technical, or building a tower, roller coaster, plane, or wheeled vehicle. There's something for everyone! During our Thursday meetings, we will plan which teammates will compete in which of the 23 events, connect students with resources to prepare for their events, and help foster a love of science! Coaches will help students prepare for the competition but family support is also strongly encouraged throughout and required on the competition day. All parents must stay with the team on February 3rd if there is a Regional event or on March 2nd, 2024 for States at Bethel University. Check out the club website here. Advisors: Ms Gabor and Ms. Nee.
