The Innovators Olympics is an exciting series of events, each representing a domain of science and engineering, to be completed by teams of two students per school. These events require teamwork, innovation, creativity, and knowledge. The Olympic stations will include a build-a-structure, scientific argumentation, plant-a-palooza, forces & motion and properties of matter. The Office of Science recommends selecting 5th grade students to participate. Schools may select runners-up from their school-based science research expos or use an application process to select participants.
