Pilgrimage Homeschool Science Olymipad Team is the only non school-affiliated team of over 70 schools competing in Maryland. Pilgrimage has been highly competitive since 2010, coming 1st in the state of Maryland four times to represent Maryland at the national tournament. Our Division B or Middle School team has never placed under the top 5 of 30 in the state tournament.
In Science Olympiad, students compete in events, which are essentially tests of their knowledge in many different scientific areas.
There are three types of events:
-
Study events simply composed of a subject test (i.e., Meteorology).
-
Build events requires students to create a scientific device (i.e., Tower).
-
Lab events consist of a test and hands-on analysis portion (i.e. Forensics).
