This month the Science Olympiad (SO) marched its way to the LA County's 26th Annual Science Olympiad Competition, where students from teams around the area test their knowledge on all things science. The winning team will get to advance to the Southern California level competition and, hopefully, move on to nationals. SO is extremely excited for the competition this year, as the team is overflowing with many talented young scientists.
