The National Science Olympiad (OSN) is a prestigious event that involves the best students from various levels of education who have passed a rigorous selection at the district and provincial levels. One way to improve the quality of students in facing the OSN in Science and Mathematics is through structured coaching. The OSN Science and Mathematics Workshop held around the UNAND campus in Padang City is one such effort that has proven successful. The objectives of this workshop include three main aspects, namely improving the competence of high school students in basic science and mathematics, improving students' skills in solving OSN questions and improving the quality of high school education in Padang City. The workshop consisted of three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, OSN questions from the previous year were collected to be used as learning materials. The implementation stage involved a series of activities, including a pre-test, structured learning through lectures, question simulations, and discussions using audiovisual aids. The evaluation was conducted through a post-test to measure the improvement of students' understanding after attending the workshop. The results of this workshop showed a significant increase in the understanding of students who had participated from 30% to 60%. This illustrates the effectiveness of a sustainable and structured approach in improving student competencies to face OSN competitions in Science and Mathematics. This workshop could become a model for efforts to improve the quality of education in schools around the campus. It can be an inspiration for other educational institutions.
