Science Olympiad
Science Olympiad is an American elementary,
middle, or high school team competition which tests knowledge of various
science topics and engineering ability.
A non-profit organization established by leading
academicians, scientists and media personalities with the aim of
promoting science, mathematics and computer education, the Science
Olympiad Foundation has been striving for over a decade to promote
scientific attitude through innovative activities and use of IT in
learning process that involve school students across the country.
In the present times when the world is totally
pivoted on science and IT, it is pertinent to think and plan about the
future - a future in which the children of the present shall be the
leaders of tomorrow. Regular qualitative and quantitative assessment
needs to be done at the national level in order to build up the
scientific and IT talent pool. It is in this sphere that the role of SOF
has been much appreciated over these last few years, so much so that
highly reputed organizations like WIPRO, LG, Reliance, Aakash Institute,
Vidyalankar Dnyanapeeth Trust, Resonance and MTG Learning Media have
volunteered to support SOF's various programmes.
