Science Olympiad Club

Our mission is to involve Montana State students in the planning and organization
of the Montana Science Olympiad tournament hosted annually in the Spring semester.
This tournament, currently organized by the Science Math Resource Center, invites
Montana High School and Middle School students to the MSU campus to compete in STEM-related
events. Some of these events included building a mouse trap vehicle, constructing
a trebuchet, or testing their knowledge of fossils. The tournament is a rewarding
experience for Montana youth, student volunteers, and club members. Many of these
students go on to pursue STEM-related careers, some even choosing to attend Montana
State! There are so many opportunities for club members to contribute to the organization
of the tournament! No prior experience or knowledge of Science Olympiad is required.
