Supporting our Local Hospitals Battling COVID-19
In these challenging times, we've decided to offer our spring workshops online this year and we will donate the proceeds to hospitals on the front lines battling the COVID-19 crisis. |
Expert Instructors
Almost all of our instructors are high schoolers who are alumni of the Kennedy Science Olympiad team and have competed at the Science Olympiad National Tournament. We're excited to share our passion for science with younger students through these workshops. |
Wide Range of Topics
In parallel to the many different scientific disciplines explored in Science Olympiad, we're excited to be offering 22 different workshops covering a wide range of different topics and fields. Feel free to sign up for whichever ones interest you! |
