Science Olympiad is a national organization that hosts annual inter-school competitions on a regional, state, and national level. These competitions consist of 23 events in science that focus on specific topics within six fields of science: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space Science, Inquiry, and Technology. At each competition, competitors work in pairs through a variety of topics and formats, from performing chemistry labs to flying simple constructed helicopters. To advance to higher levels of competition, a school must demonstrate its prowess in each of the six fields of science. To this end, the Stuyvesant Science Olympiad Team works to prepare its members not only to achieve prestige and medal places during competition but also to explore and discover more about their passions in the expansive niches of science. The organization is entirely student-operated; veterans of the competition teach new members how to compete in each of the 23 events weekly, and members compete and strive for success on one of Stuyvesant's yearly teams. Absolutely no prior experience or knowledge is required to join our club! Join our team and come with us on trips to Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, UPenn and more, entering their classrooms and laboratories as scientists!
