What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad is a team ‘sport’ for STEAM enthusiasts that challenges you to explore, collaborate, inquire, and learn! Work in teams to cross-train for a variety of events and compete with other students at the San Diego Regional Science Olympiad Competition!
High School, College, and Career-Ready
The Carlsbad Educational Foundation is honored to work with its local science and engineering partner, Viasat, and the Carlsbad Unified School District to provide middle and high school students the incredible opportunity to observe, experience and explore STEM careers. Student groups are mentored by adult science enthusiasts who are often professional scientist and/or engineers in the field.
Hands-On STEM Competition
Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 23 team events in each division (Division B is middle school; Division C is high school). Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering, and technology.
STEM Skills and Fun!
Teamwork is a required skill in most scientific careers today, and Science Olympiad encourages group learning by designing events that forge alliances. Even if you don’t think you are a “science person,” you will learn that you have skills to contribute to the group’s success.
