This is a great opportunity for science-minded kids in 6th – 9th grade to participate in a national STEM competition, gain great experience and make friends along the way.
Our team coaches are based in Boca Raton but team members can be from anywhere in Palm Beach or Broward counties. Our head coach, Candi Lebenhauer, has been successfully coaching Science Olympiad teams to win medals for over a decade.
Competition is an all-day event on a Saturday in late February (exact date TBC) and takes place at FAU campus in Boca Raton. If we place in the top 3, we will then qualify for the regional competition in Orlando which takes place in April.
To prepare for the competition, we will meet once a month for a drop-off ‘Science Saturday’ in East Boca Raton, where our team will work together to prepare for their events, as well as host bi-weekly park days and occasional field trips. In addition, team members are expected to work on their events as needed, in conjunction with their designated partners.
Cost for participation is $75 ($50 for competition registration and team t-shirt, and $25 to cover the costs of facility use and any park-day materials cost.) We also ask parents to volunteer at least twice to help out during our Science Saturdays.
For MICROSCHOOLS with homeschool students who wish to compete with our team, team members can coordinate efforts among their fellow microschool members, for 3-4 events, divided evenly among all team members and interest. Effort should be made to attend at least 3-4 meetups either on Saturdays, field trips, or park-days to build team unity. Cost $50 + prorated facility use fee for all team members. Please contact Candi Lehenbauer for specific microschool inquiries.
