Science Olympiad
Do you find yourself wanting to dive deeper into the world of science? Do you enjoy working with others and competing where you get to be the expert in your topic? If so, then you can do all of that and more as a part of the Beaver Science Olympiad Team. As a member, you will work with a team of students to compete against other schools in topics ranging from Anatomy and Physiology and Entomology to Materials Science and Robotics. With 23 different events, there is an event that is sure to interest any student who is enthusiastic about science and engineering. Each student will likely have 3-4 categories that they will specialize in and prepare for. Some of the events will involve preparing for tests and lab practicals, whereas others will involve building things ahead of time, like robots or hovercraft at school to bring to the event. Fall sessions will run as a club and competition prep sessions will run through the Winter Afterschool Activities period, and will be Monday through Thursday, 3:45 – 5:30. Competitions will be held in the Boston area for regionals, and all students who sign up will be expected to compete.
