What is Science Olympiad?
Science Olympiad (SO) is a nationally organized science competition which exists to augment the science curriculum in our schools. With coach guidance, students work together using hands-on activities to explore multiple science disciplines. There are 23 different events. BMMS students typically select between 2 and 4 events to study over the course of 4 months (see BMMS regional competition eligibility requirements coming soon) All BMMS SO students are invited to compete at our first BMMS Science Olympiad Competition Day scheduled Dec 5, 2009. Results from this competition will be used to help identify students prepared to represent BMMS at the Regional SO Competition scheduled at RBHS on February 6, 2010. At Black Mountain, SO is an extracurricular program and entirely run by volunteers.
