2022 SoCal
Elementary Science Olympiad
Welcome to the 2021-2022 Science Olympiad season. As with last year, the Southern California Science Olympiad will be hosting a virtual joint elementary tournament again. This year the tournament will be on Sat, March 5, 2022. As with last year, all materials provided by Science Olympiad will be mailed to the coach prior to the tournament so that they can distribute them to the participants for their use on tournament day at their homes. New this year, Sierra Vista Middle School will be hosting their first ever elementary invitational tournament in Southern California on Sat, Feb 5, 2022. This practice tournament will be in-person on the campus of Northwood High School in Irvine, CA as long as current protocols remain as they are. This invitational tournament is a great way to give your students an additional chance to compete and will help prepare your team for the upcoming joint state tournament.
