What's scioly? Ik you've mentioned it a few times but I still don't know what it is hsvshvshhs
it’s short for science olympiad! it’s kinda like the olympics but with science!
there’s 23 events per year, some stay the same year to year, others rotate out every couple years, and some stay in but change topics! each event is done with one other person, except for one event that has a three person team.
an example of the rotating topic is dynamic planet, which switches between oceanography (what i did last year), tectonic plates, and glaciers!
there are study events, which are based on pure knowledge, so an example of that is reach for the stars (astronomy).
there are build events, which are purely building, like mousetrap vehicle or electric launch glider. idk too much about these cause i’m a study event person
there’s also lab events, which are kinda a mix of both. one example of that is water quality (my beloved). it’s mostly study, but we did have to build a salinometer and test the salinity of a jug of water! (my teammate and i named him benji)
there are 2 divisions of teams, B and C. B is 5-9th grade and C is 9-12th grade! ur only allowed to have 5 9th graders on a div B team and 5 12th graders on a div C team. there’s technically a div A for elementary schoolers but they don’t do much
there’s competitions of 4 levels. the first is invitationals which are mostly practices and you don’t really advance if you win. next is regionals, and there’s multiple per state. if you get top 3 in those, you advance to the state level! there’s one state competition per state, and if you get win, you advance to nationals!!
even getting into nats is pretty insane. each state gets 1 team, but the top 10 states with the most teams gets to get a second team (determined by who got second place at the state level)
comps don’t typically start until january-ish and they’re an all day event (think 5-6 am when you leave and 9-10 pm when you get back)
in the comps, there are multiple blocks of time each with about 4-5 events. if you have two at the same time, sucks to suck lol. the events have a 50 minute time period, with a test for study/lab events, and a showcase of your build for build events
all tests are open notes, tho all events have restrictions on how many notes you can bring (ranging from 1 double sided sheet to a full three ring binder and field guide)
scoring works like golf. whoever has the lowest score wins. your score is calculated by adding all your teams placements together, and if you don’t participate in an event your placement is the number of competing teams + 1
comps typically take place at a college, but invitationals can sometimes take place and middle/high school!!
for example, my state comp is at purdue university, but it used to be at IU bloomington
