SCIENCE OLYMPIAD NEWS
Science Olympiad is a team-based competition that challenges students in various STEM fields. It consists of multiple events that test participants’ knowledge and skills in areas such as biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, engineering, and problem-solving. These events can be hands-on, inquiry-based, or knowledge-based, including lab experiments, building projects, and written exams. Each team prepares for months to excel in specific events, which rotate annually to cover different topics. The competition encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of STEM concepts while fostering a love for science and innovation.
Students also competed in the Mass State competition at Wentworth Institute of Technology in March where they placed 8th in Anatomy & Physiology (E. Mulready, B. Jennings), 8th in Experimental Design (C. Puthiaparambil, J. Resch, S. Zeppieri) and 10th in Architectural Engineering (L. Hurley, S. Sahr).
