Science Olympiad is a competitive, team-based club where students engage in hands-on science-based challenges and is considered one of the premier STEM competitions in the United States. 

Each competition consists of 23 challenges that cover all science disciplines. Whether it’s building bridges and rockets to mastering biology, chemistry and physics, earth and space science and engineering topics, members prepare for local and regional competitions that test their problem-solving and collaboration skills.

The St. Joe’s Science Olympiad team meets regularly for after-school practices with mentors and professionals in STEM fields, beginning in November and attends multiple invitational tournaments beginning in December. The season culminates with the regional competition in February and the state tournament in March. St. Joe’s has qualified for the state tournament each year since the team’s inception in 2008.
