🌟 Five days until the Red Carpet is rolled out for our Science Superstars!


Before the cameras roll and you don those safety goggles, make sure to check out your
Script (a.k.a. the State Tournament Guide below).

Think of it as your secret storyboard for tournament success! 


Download the event app (your digital backstage pass), save our Tournament Soundtrack (the ultimate score for scientific breakthroughs), and invite your fan club! Because what’s a blockbuster without a cheering crowd? 📣


Let’s make some noise together… in a very scientific manner, of course!🤓 And remember, if it’s not on social media, it’s a deleted scene. Use #NCSciOly26 and #NCSciOlympiad, we want to see all those award-winning selfies! 📸


 Ready to level up your

Science Olympiad game?


Forget the chaos of a paper schedule because who needs that kind of drama when you can have an app that won’t judge you for scheduling naps in your homeroom between events? 


So, who’s ready to unleash their inner science superstar? Tap that download button, cue the lights, and let the competition begin!
