Science Olympiad is intended for students who have an interest in science and engineering, whether or not they choose a career in one of those fields. The point of Science Olympiad is to learn some science and have some fun in the process. Events cover biology, physics, chemistry, earth science, engineering and inquiry. They range from pencil and paper tests, to performing lab experiments, to building a structure or robot.
