Science Olympiad consists of 23 events that cover various topics ranging from chemistry to earth science and electrical engineering to anatomy. As a former Woodson Science Olympiad president once said, it's like a track meet for nerds!

There are different types of events. For study events, you make a binder or a cheat sheet. For builds, you construct a physical machine. For labs and hybrids, you study and prepare for a hands-on examination.

Schools and universities around the country hold tournaments. We've been to invitationals at the National Cathedral, Princeton, and Yale. The States tournament we attend every year is held at the University of Virginia.
