ABOUT THE SCIENCE
OLYMPIAD
The Science Olympiad is a nationwide STEM competition challenging students in a variety of science disciplines. Students compete at the regional, state, and national level.
Regional competitions serve to reduce the amount of teams competing at the state level. At the state competition, the top teams in each region in a given state compete with each other. The state competition decides the team(s) that advance to the National Tournament.
At the national level, the best teams from across the country compete against each other. Prizes and scholarships are awarded to the top scorers.
