2019 NW PA Science Olympiad Information

The 2019 Science Olympiad took place on Tuesday, March 5, 2019

Team Organization

Teams consist of up to 15 students in division B (grades 6-9) and up to 15 students in division C (grades 9-12). The teams are separate so schools can enter one or both divisions. No more than five 9th graders are allowed on a division B team and no more than seven 12th graders are allowed on a division C team. The team coach is responsible for recruiting/choosing members for the team and assigning events to specific members of the team. Each event usually has two students working together. See hints for starting and organizing a team. To register a team please visit the Registration for Science Olympiad page.

EventsScience Olympiad

There are 23 events in each division. A team is more likely to do well if it enters as many events as possible. However, the team is not required to enter all events. A few new events are added every year and old ones removed, but most events are just tweaked.
