Once you've been a part of Science Olympiad, you're tagged for life. I am a Science Olympiad alum! Say it out loud and chances are you'll turn a few million heads. Over the past 25 years, Science Olympiad has assembled an alumni base larger than most major universities. We hope to hear from more and more of you, so please fill out our Alumni Survey so we can stay in touch. We'd like to have a great 25th Anniversary get-together at the 2009 Science Olympiad National Tournament, so if you are in the Georgia area, please click the box on the Alumni Survey to indicate your interest.
In 2009, we'll be starting the Science Olympiad Foundation, largely because of you. Check out the Foundation web page for more details on our goals, mission and how you can help.
"Science Olympiad gave me the opportunity to further develop my scientific and engineering mind so when I went to college and eventually on to my military engineer career, I was a better prepared individual." - Lt. Phillip Hinson, Civil Engineer, United States Air Force
"Science Olympiad opened the door to exploring more than what the ordinary classroom offers. It allowed me to focus my attention on topics that I enjoyed learning the most. It's an excellent tool to help kids be motivated about science, even if they aren't the typical straight-A students. They loved Science Olympiad and they were good at it!" - Jill Fisher, Bio-Energy Lab Technician, ICM Inc.
"In high school, Science Olympiad was an integral part of my growing love of science, engineering, and experimentation. I never stopped enjoying the process of design and creation, both in reality and in the computer -- I now work on Google SketchUp and the 3D Warehouse." - Dr. Brian Brewington, Software Engineer, Google
"As a young girl, being on Science Olympiad with other girls created an important support group; together we discovered that women can succeed in the fields of engineering, math and science." - Vanessa Rogers, Management Consultant, IBM
