Stewart Elementary’s Science Olympiad

About this Event

Attention Educators: Experience a Hands-On Science Olympiad Aligned with STEELS Standards!

Stewart Elementary invites educators from other districts and schools to witness our annual Science Olympiad, a two-day immersive STEM event designed for fourth- and fifth-grade students. This engaging competition, spearheaded by STEM Facilitator and Personalized Learning Coach April Sites, has been a cornerstone of hands-on science learning for the past four years.

Join us on for a firsthand look at how we bring STEM education to life through interactive challenges that promote collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Educators will observe teams of students competing in seven STEM events, including:

🚀 Water Rockets – Designing and launching rockets using water pressure

📝 Write It Do It/Mapping It Out – Strengthening communication and spatial reasoning

🔌 Snappy Circuits – Exploring electrical circuits through hands-on experimentation

🥚 Armored Egg Drop – Engineering a protective device to keep an egg from breaking

🗼 Straw Towers – Constructing the tallest and most stable tower with limited materials

🔢 Calculator Race/Science Boggle – Testing math skills and scientific vocabulary

🏃‍♂️ Pentathlon – A unique blend of science trivia and a physical obstacle course

Educators will have the opportunity to observe how middle and high school mentors, teachers, and PTA parents guide students through the challenges, fostering a dynamic learning environment that embodies STEELS standards.
