Help Me Save Science Olympiad

Help me give my students learning materials for the 2022-2023 Elementary Science Olympiad.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Brown's classroom raised $968

This project is fully funded

My Project

If I could describe our students using three descriptive phrases, I would choose: extraordinarily compassionate towards others, dedicated to being a positive influence on their peers, and exceptionally perseverant. Our students are inquisitive and have intrinsic motivation to learn, but sometimes need that little extra push from their teachers and support staff. They love exploration, kinesthetic learning, and using 21st-century technology to drive their learning objective. So, it is our goal to provide opportunities for our children to express their compassion, dedication, and perseverance to learning. They truly are the epitome of a family.

My Project

Our Science Olympians are returning to the Orange County Science Olympiad for the fourth year in a row. Currently, we have 40 excited and invested children that are seeking instructional field guides, as well as hands-on materials to support their learning for their main knowledge and engineering events.

In addition to training once a week, our students will dedicate Saturdays, as well as nights and weekends studying and building their science foundation to exceed at the Elementary Science Olympiad.
