My Project

Our Science Olympiad team is eager to dive into hands-on learning, but we need your support to make that possible. The build kits we’re requesting are essential for helping our students prepare for the various engineering and construction challenges in the competition. These kits will provide the materials and tools necessary for building models, devices, and structures that are critical for events such as Scrambler, Air Trajectory, Robot Tour, Wind Power and Electric Vehicle. With these resources, our team will be able to experiment, test, and refine their creations, enhancing their problem-solving skills and deepening their understanding of scientific principles. Your support will help foster teamwork, innovation, and a love for science, allowing our students to fully engage in this exciting educational experience.
