The competition was held at UW Stout on Saturday, March 16. This is the seventh year All Saints Catholic School has competed in this event. Science Olympiad is an international STEM competition that involves various events that challenge students in ways that may not be offered at the middle and high school levels. The creation of electric cars, constructing gliders, and working with college-level anatomy/physiologyare just some examples of the events encountered through this competition.
