Olympiad Goals
Science Olympiad is devoted to
• improving the quality of science
education
• increasing student interest in science
and
• providing recognition for
outstanding achievement in science
education by both students and
teachers.
We hope to achieve these goals through
participation in Science Olympiad
tournaments, classroom activities, and
summer training institutes for teachers.
