The Region VII Science Olympiad is coming up on Feb. 25 and volunteers are needed to help with various tasks, from assisting with events to helping deliver lunches.
Approximately 600 people are expected to attend the annual event.
“Olympiad is a great opportunity for middle school and high school students to get positive reinforcement in STEM education, and at the same time acquainting them with a collegiate atmosphere,” said Ben Dalton, director of region VII. “Most of the students are local, and seeing the campus will contribute to their decision on where they attend college. Ultimately, we want to provide the students with an environment where the students can have fun exercising their minds in the sciences.”
There are a variety of events, ranging from anatomy and physiology, to helicopters, to astronomy. For more information on volunteering, contact Ben Dalton via email at BDalton@MissouriState.edu
