Welcome to General Greene's Science Olympiad!
I am so excited to bring this competitive after-school program to General Greene!
What is Science Olympiad?
In a nutshell, Science Olympiad is a chance for students who are good at STEM to go deeper into the curriculum than they can in the regular classroom. (STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Students learn, study, experiment, build and test, in preparation for competing against other students just like them. Science Olympiad is amazing because students can shine in elementary, middle and high school!
For more specific information, see our Youtube video or go to Science Olympiad of North Carolina.
Our History
We started our first team in January 2019. We went from having one team to having a junior and a varsity team, with the varsity team competing against others schools at Alamance Community College. We have worked hard in school and at home to be the best we could be at each event.
Changes 2024-2025!
Last competition, our competitors were tough and brought their A game. After reflection, the team decided it would be better to have more practices before the competition in March. The junior and varsity teams will be combined to have one large meeting every Thursday. We are limited to only 15 students for the day of the competition.
In December, we will evaluate who will be going forward with the competitive portion. This decision will be made based on how well the Olympians kept up with the work load, their participation in the science fair, classroom teacher input and their interest in moving forward.
Applications are due to Ms. Baldwin by September 13th. No late submissions will be accepted. I will contact all applicants by the end of September on the final decision.
