The Hawaiʻi Island Regional Science Olympiad was held at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo on Saturday. Seventy students (plus 15 coaches and teachers), grades 6 – 12, in eight teams, competed in 18 different science events coordinated by researchers and scientists from across the campus and community.
The event was coordinated by Sharon Ziegler-Chong, Hoʻoululahui “Erika” Perry and staff at the Office of Research and Community Partnerships at UH Hilo.
“This is a neat opportunity for UH Hilo to showcase its engagement in STEM and with our upcoming island students,” says Ziegler-Chong.
