Science Olympiad is back this year and ready for another season. The club’s first meeting took place on Sept. 10th and was filled with both new and familiar faces.

Adviser of the club, Ms.Magdal said she saw many new students show up to participate.

“Our first meeting had many new members along with old ones and other students have requested to join after the meeting took place,” Magdal said.

Members on the team meet a few Wednesdays of every month and learn about a wide variety of science topics. According to Magdal, topics that will be covered this year include bridge building, chemical labs, and entomology, the study of insects.

Club participants’  knowledge is put to the test during regional competitions. Regional competitions take place at various schools throughout the metro and consist of events ranging from building roller coasters to do geology experiments.

Sophomore Maddie Cook is the secretary of Science Olympiad and said she looks forward to the competitions.

“The building competitions are really fun to watch and I enjoy competing in the geology part of the competition,” Cook said.

Science Olympiad’s second meeting was on Oct. 1st  in Ms. Magdal’s room A308 and the third one was held on Oct 8th.
