2018 Science Olympics

The 2018 Science Olympics featured pennies, marbles and eggs – some smashed and some intact – as students in grades 6 to 9 had their creativity, teamwork and STEM skills tested at the event held at the Bonnyville and District Centennial Centre on Thursday, April 12.
Over 300 students from schools throughout Northern Lights competed in teams of five to solve three challenges and claim the title of Science Olympics champions.
