The forecast might be ☀️ for States, but chemists still don't get to wear shorts! Remember that Can't Judge a Powder, Chemistry Lab, Crime Busters, Forensics, and Materials Science all require long pants, long sleeves, and closed toed shoes

Remember about half the events have rules that vary based on tournament level. At States, you might see additional test topics, extra allowed materials, modified device testing parameters, or even different construction specs. Make sure to revisit your rules!

Thank you to our sponsor @AuroraFlightSci for supervising the Helicopter event! It’s amazing to see the real career paths that Science Olympiad can lead students to!
Aurora employees had a blast this weekend supporting the @VASciOlympiad regional tournament! Aurora supervised the middle and high school helicopter events, recording flight times and verifying that students’ helicopters met the necessary specifications. #STEM #aerospace

Our best tip for tournament success is to make your practice environment like the competition environment. Whether it's leveling your device, using the allowed notes format, or sticking to time limits, seemingly small differences can make a big impact

We posted the scoresheets our Event Supervisors will use, so you can practice like it's the real thing! You can also download the corresponding spreadsheets to track your trials and compute your score. Nothing should be a surprise when you go to compete!

Practice like a champion and protect yourself! Always wear safety gear, whether it's goggles, lab coats, or long pants, as required by the rules of your event. Safety first! And trust us, you don't want to realize last-minute that your goggles fog up when the pressure's on.
