THE NATIONAL SCIENCE OLYMPIAD

Science Olympiad, founded in 1985, is an international 501-C-3 nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of science education, increasing student interest in science and providing recognition for outstanding achievement in science education by both students and teachers.

PURPOSE OF SCIENCE OLYMPIAD

The specific purposes of the Science Olympiad Program are:

1. To bring science to life, to show how science works, to emphasize problem solving aspects of science and the understanding of science concepts.

2. To develop teamwork and cooperative learning strategies among students.

3. To make science education more exciting so more students will enroll in science courses and engage in other science activities like science reading, fairs, meetings, and field trips.

4. To promote high levels of achievement and a commitment to excellence, to demonstrate that students can perform at levels that surpass expectations of even practicing scientists and engineers.

5. To attract more students, particularly females and minorities, to professional and technical careers in science, technology and science teaching.
