Hopkins at the National Science Olympiad

During the weekend of May 17th and 18th, nineteen Hopkins students competed in the 29th Science Olympiad Tournament at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. Science Olympiad competitions are like academic track meets, consisting of a series of 25 team events. Each year, a portion of the events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages a wide cross-section of students to get involved. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation. The team from Hopkins placed 29th out of 60 teams with the best team score in Hopkins' history. Hopkins has participated at both the State and National levels for the past five years.
