Science Olympiad at Smith - Student interest form

Science Olympiad is an international-level competition that strives to provide challenging and motivational events to help students pursue their science interests beyond the classroom. It tests students' knowledge and understanding of biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. This competition gives students exposure to different STEM fields through both hands-on experience and contextual learning. We are trying to gauge the level of interest for this program at Samantha Smith Elementary. Please fill out the interest form below and we will get in touch with you soon. Only Samantha Smith 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will be eligible to compete. Email janakilakshmiv@gmail.com with any questions!
