Science Olympiad Volunteers
Montana Science Olympiad State Tournament
Friday, April 19th, 2024
Volunteers
The Montana Science Olympiad State Tournament hosts nearly 900 middle and high school
students from over 70 teams across Montana competing in 29 Science Olympiad events
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This enormous
undertaking would not be possible without the dedication of an army of dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers contribute an array of tasks from helping to supervise and score tournament
events, to running sandwiches to Event Supervisors and a roll of duct tape to a classroom.
We need all of you!
Volunteers earn ChampChange, receive Science Olympiad schwag, and a free lunch! In keeping with MSU Guidelines for University Programs for children, volunteers are
screened through a background check. Please read the MSU Guidelines for University Programs for children.
