Science Olympiad

KirbyKing · 02-27-2005, 06:30 PM

Any of you competing in Science Olympiad? What events are you doing?

This year I'm quite excited. I'm in Chem ID, Fossils, Forestry, and Designer Genes, and I'm helping our team out with Mission Possible. I also helped design our school's Science Olympiad T-shirt. This'll be awesome!

I'm not eligible this year....'cause I'm not in high school anymore.

But in the past I've done Write It Do It (once with Lego/Tinkertoy, once with K'Nex), Reach for the Stars (once), Astronomy (twice), From A Distance (aka Remote Sensing: thrice), and one or two more that I can't remember.
Placed twice, once in Reach for the Stars and once in Remote Sensing.

Being poor, my school had no Olympiad shirts.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I used to do Write It/Do It (but my "write it" partner screwed me over when she failed to know the difference between nails and screws!), but I was really good with What Are You Trying To Tell Me? (statistics, no longer offered) and It's About Time.

Yeah, my first Write It went well, but my partner couldn't Do It, since he apparently he had never used Legos before or something, and didn't know was an "8-Bump piece" meant.
The second time was easier, 'cause like I said, we used K'Nex, which are color-coded and the round connectors can be described with clock location; that time my partner was the only on in our time slot to even come CLOSE to the final product, and we ended up 3rd place for the day in that event.

Never even heard of Science Olympiad. I probably wouldn't, simply because most science classes bore me.
