Hundreds of regional students converge on campus for inaugural Science Olympiad
Hundreds of middle and high school students from across the Gulf South converged on Tulane’s uptown campus last month for the university’s first Science Olympiad, a STEM competition organized and run entirely by Tulane students.
The invitational event brought 380 students from nearly 20 schools to campus for a day of team-based challenges modeled after the national Science Olympiad program. The competition aims to expose younger students to hands-on science, highlight real-world applications of STEM and introduce them to what pursuing those fields in college can look like.
