    1 Science Olympiad Alumni Where Are They Now? Stories of Scientific

    Science Olympiad Alumni Where Are They Now? Stories of Scientific Achievement and Inspiration To celebrate the 20th anniversary of national competition in 2004, Science Olympiad began an effort to track down its most illustrious alumni. We were specifically interested to discover if Science Olympiad had an impact on the choice of a career in science or technology. Of the hundreds of respondents, more than 80% answered with a resounding “Yes!” Kathleen Markiewicz Teacher, Boston Public Schools Competed from 1998 to 2000 “It solidified my love for science. I enjoyed getting to learn about many areas of science in Science Olympiad, and I continue to be interested in lots of science disciplines. In particular, Science Olympiad showed me that I love chemistry and physics, which ultimately were my majors for my undergraduate degree. I am also coaching my own Science Olympiad team at the Boston Latin School, and it’s a great way to come full circle. My fiancé, who I met while on the Grand Haven High School Science Olympiad team, is also helping me coach.” Rich Radke Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Competed in the early 1990s “I believe that Science Olympiad was very helpful in showing me that science could be interesting and fun, and that there were organizations that rewarded people for achievement in science and math,” said an 18-year-old Radke in 1993. Today, Radke is a celebrated researcher and the winner of the National Science Foundation’s Early Career Development Award for his work with networked cameras.

    SCIENCEOLYMPIAD America’s Most Exciting Team Science Competition A researcher in the jungles of Panama studies a golden frog and remembers her favorite middle school Science Olympiad event, Amphibians and Reptiles. A high school science teacher prepares his lessons and recalls the singular influence that led him to major in Cellular and Molecular Biology at the University of Michigan and to pursue teaching, the Science Olympiad Designer Genes event. A geotechnical engineer who attended both MIT and UC Berkeley marvels at how learning to classify more than 200 rocks, minerals and fossils when she was 13 years old led her to a career sparked by Science Olympiad.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Bob Kopach, Media Relations, 312-852-0132, [email protected] TOP U.S. STUDENTS COMPETE IN THE 2018 SCIENCE OLYMPIAD NATIONAL TOURNAMENT AT COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY FT. COLLINS, CO — Talented teens from across the nation will gather at Colorado State University May 18- 19 to battle it out in intensely competitive science and engineering projects. More than 5,000 students, parents and educators from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will descend on Fort Collins for the 34th annual Science Olympiad National Tournament, hosted this year by CSU. Among the visiting schools will be a Global Ambassador Team from Japan. The public is welcome to attend many of the competition events, taking place in the Lory Student Center and across campus. The opening and closing ceremonies will be held in Moby Arena. Read a full schedule here. “Colorado State University is delighted and honored to host some of the nation’s most talented young scientists and engineers at this year’s Science Olympiad National Tournament,” said Rick Miranda, CSU provost. “We welcome each and every one of these inspiring young people to our campus, and we hope they will be proud of their achievements – as they already should be. Best of luck to all of these amazing students!” The approximately 2,000 students from 120 middle and high schools were their states’ top performers at competitions held this year. Middle and high school students compete separately. School-based teams prepare and practice throughout the year, then compete in regional and state tournaments. Among the qualifying teams this year are two all-female teams, from Oregon and from Washington, D.C.

    Science Olympiad National Policy on Team Qualification – Update Including Virtual Schools Ratified by the Executive Board, August 29, 2011

    Science Olympiad National Policy on Team Qualification – Update Including Virtual Schools Ratified by the Executive Board, August 29, 2011 Background: Science Olympiad is a private non-profit organization founded in 1984. Science Olympiad holds more than 280 regional, state and national competitive tournaments across the United States, involving nearly 6,200 secondary school teams in 2011. It provides teacher workshops and training to science teachers across the United States. As a private association, Science Olympiad is legally allowed to set its own requirements for participation. During the past decade, Science Olympiad has seen a significant growth of participation by students who are enrolled in qualified study programs other than public or private schools. The rules of participation for alternative students have been developed as new forms of education are authorized under state law. The policy below is intended to be useable in any state, and it was formulated with a number of goals in mind: First, Science Olympiad wishes to be as inclusive as possible. There is no good reason to deny access to students who wish to participate in Science Olympiad events. Second, Science Olympiad wishes to be fair. Students who are schooled in non-traditional settings must participate on the same relative terms and conditions of students who attend public or private schools under existing Science Olympiad policies. Third, Science Olympiad wants consistency across the program. Therefore, this policy provides guidelines that are to be used with all schooling options and in all states. Primary enrollment at a school will be determined by what school holds the student’s records and matriculates the student (this is a general definition of primary enrollment), and a student may only be primarily enrolled at a single school.
