Science Olympiad

IU Northwest will host its 23rd annual regional tournament on Saturday, February 17, 2024! We will update the website with more information very soon. Please check back often! Email the tournament director with any questions!

This year's tournament celebrates the 40th anniversary of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), discovered by Kary B. Mullis (1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry).

IU Northwest will host its 22nd annual Science Olympiad Regional Tournament on Saturday, February 4, 2023. Registration and access to homerooms will start at 7:00 am CST. The first events will begin at 8:00 am, and the last events will end at 3:30 pm. We will return to an in-person awards ceremony this year which will start at 4:15 pm. We anticipate it will conclude by 6:00 pm.

Currently 12 Division B teams from 11 middle schools and 8 Division C teams from 7 high schools have registered to compete in the tournament. We have not been told how many B and C teams will advance from our tournament to the state tournament. Once this information is received, this website will be updated.
