What we do |
Our high school team is self-run, promoting students to exercise leadership roles in elected positions. Positions include: Team Captain, Captain's Committee, Secretary, Treasurer, Outreach, and more.
The team prepares for Science Olympiad throughout the year. Students are expected to work with partners outside weekly meetings in addition, and are provided guidance and tutoring by parent coaches and Science Olympiad mentors (services free of charge.) Besides prepping for Science Olympiad, we partake in other science-related activities as a team. Including student presentations and event demonstrations, hosting guest speakers from scientific professions, and going on field trips. Like a sports team social get-togethers are common, planning Barton Springs and bowling excursions and Game Nights. |
