Utah's Science Olympiad Home Page

Saturday March 27, 2010 - the  State Science Olympiad Tournament (schools must attend one of the regional events -  if more teams register than can compete at the State Tournament, only the top teams will move on)

IMPORTANT NOTES: The most common cause of poor team performance is NOT READING and following the event rules.  KNOW the rules for your events including what materials you can and cannot bring into the event.

COMPUTE THIS MOVED TO SL220

PARENTS/COACHES ARE ONLY ALLOWED AT THE SPECTATOR EVENTS

ALSO - your event score will not be recorded without your voucher  (and know where your event is located before you arrive on Saturday)

Since several coaches seem to have not received some emails, I will post all emails here as well:  Important email to B coaches re Mission Possible    March 22 email to all coaches

How Science Olympiad works in Utah (FAQ) - frequently asked questions and other important information - a must read for new coaches and new teams.

New Events are in Blue (some are name changes or recycled events); Utah added events are in purple, click for rules; The number of teams which competed in certain events in past years is posted in Black (2007), Green (2008), and navy (2009)  next to each event

Take a break and enjoy this (it is a u-tube link) - rejoice that this is not our Mission Possible challenge!!!!
