National Science Olympiad hosts Workshop Wednesday Oct. 18

All Coaches & team leaders are invited to join the first Workshop Wednesday of the year on Wednesday, October 18th from 3:30-4:30pm Montana Time (4:30 Central)! This Workshop will cover assigning events to students; tracking your progress throughout the season, choosing Invitationals and where to go to find help. Register here!

If any of your former competitors are now students at MSU, please tell them to check out the new Montana Science Olympiad student club! The purpose of the club is to bring together former Science Olympiad participants and any student interested in STEM with the goal of encouraging members to be involved in the Science Olympiad program at MSU. Members will assist Event Supervisors in test making, building apparatuses, assisting the directors in event-day preparation, and/or volunteering on the day of the event. The club will also include social events so members can meet one another!

Learn more on the MSU student club page or encourage your Science Olympiad alumni at MSU to email Club President Addie Rohlman.

Rickards Invitational virtual tournament is Nov. 4-11

The Rickards Invitational is Nov. 4-11. As the only satellite competition featuring both divisions in November, we are the perfect early-season tournament for all teams to attend. We have some of the best alumni and competitors in the nation writing our tests and we would love to have everyone in your state participate. We will be awarding custom medals to the top 15 places in both divisions. Florida State University is also sponsoring certain Division C events and will be giving monetary prizes to the first-place winners. This, coupled with a variety of fun trial events and a lot of competition (over 180 division C teams and 130 division B teams) makes us the perfect invitational to get teams started to prepare for the season. 

More information can be found on their Scilympiad page or competition website - rsoi.org

Each team will cost $85 to register, but Title 1 schools can come for free

The tournament is a virtual, satellite competition.
