Wisconsin Idea: UW to host Science Olympiad

More than 6,000 students, educators, and parents from around the country will visit UW–Madison on May 18–21 for the 27th annual Science Olympiad National Tournament, one of the nation’s largest and most prestigious competitions of science, technology, engineering, and math.

The event will bring together 120 winning middle school and high school teams that advanced from state-level competitions this spring. Teams compete in more than two dozen scientific and engineering events on topics including human health, ecology, chemistry, cell biology, geology, and engineering.

The tournament will take place in two of the UW’s newest buildings — Union South and the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
