Bay Area Elementary Science Olympiad
Bay Area Elementary Science Olympiad successfully completed its tenth year on Saturday, May 20th, 2017 in Fremont, CA. The event was conducted under the auspices of a local non-profit organization, Science Gurus, which acts as a mentor platform for youth in STEM fields. There were a record number of teams (39 teams) from eleven different schools around the Bay Area. The competition in 11 different events in various topics from Picture This to Gravity Vehicle kept everyone busy for the whole day. The enthusiastic 4th, 5th and 6th grade students answered many tough questions that were beyond their grade level. The general science knowledge they exhibited in Science Jeopardy! took the event to a higher plane. The gravity vehicle in its rookie year posed some challenges, but our high school judges managed the event very well. The hot day did not hold back the troops in performing their best in Pentathlon, an outdoor event. The cheers from the teams and parents revealed the enthusiasm and the love of science everyone shared on that day.
We welcome all positive and constructive comments in the Comments section. These will encourage the high school judges (most of whom are ESO alums) to perform their best. We hope all the kids will give back to the community by volunteering to run this event every year.
