Two new events will highlight the 11th Regional Science Olympiad at Auburn University on March 2, when more than 800 junior and senior high school students vie for medals in 30 scientific contests. The students, representing 37 schools, also will solve problems in computer programming and test their knowledge of facts and concepts in astronomy, biology, geology, chemistry and physics.
Events are team oriented with an emphasis on active, hands-on participation.
The competition at AU is sponsored by the College of Sciences and Mathematics.
