Do you want to give your 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade student a unique and exciting first look into STEM? Enroll your child in the Science Olympiad Division A program!

Science Olympiad (SciOly) is a fun and competitive organization built around the world of STEM, with opportunities for student teamwork, problem solving, and more. SciOly’s hands-on, inquiry-based activities (Events) challenge students in grades 3-5 to build their own understanding of basic scientific concepts including measurement, force, engineering design and energy. Each student typically competes in 2-3 events and will have 1 or 2 partners that they work with for each event. A brief description of each of the 19 competition events for the 2025 season is here:

In late April, students will participate in the Maryland States Division A Science Olympiad competition with the opportunity to compete in 2-3 events and receive ribbons, medals, as well as earn a trophy for their school if the team performs well overall.

We will be meeting ~2 Mondays per month starting November 11 from 4pm-5pm at NES. At these meetings, trained and passionate high-school volunteers from River Hill HS will come to Northfield to teach the children about their events, offer resources, and do interactive science activities.
