Are you New to science olympiad?
…then the New School Award is for you! (as of 12/30/21)
Starting a Science Olympiad team is exciting for students, coaches and the entire school body. Learning new and wonderful academic events, building structures capable of holding up weight many times their own mass and opening the door to a nationally recognized science competition that will challenge your students more than they ever dreamed possible. But it can be a daunting task for those organizing and coaching the teams. You might wonder...
- 23 events? How can my students - who are new to SciOly - compete in so many events?
- Do we have to participate in all 23 events? Or can we compete in less than 23?
- Is there any way to begin with a smaller team? Less than 15 students?
To make the “leap” into Science Olympiad a little easier, schools that are new to SciOly, or those who have not competed in the past 5 years, will be considered “new schools.” Sometimes new schools may even decide to begin their first year in SciOly with less than 15 students - some signing up as few as 5 kids for their first year! And yes, while "new" schools/teams compete against all other schools, one of these new teams will also be eligible to win the New School Award, which is an award earned by the new school whose team does the best in a combination of the following ten events:
- Anatomy & Physiology
- Crave the Wave
- Dynamic Planet
- Experimental Design
- Bio--Process lab
- Ornithology
- Food Science
- Road Scholar
- Mission Possible
- Write It/Do It
So if this is your first year, don’t sweat it! Compete in all the events, or just focus on these ten events, and have fun!
