The School of Science and Mathematics at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College will host the Regional Science Olympiad for high school students on March 3. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at various locations on campus, culminating with an awards ceremony in Gressette Gym at 3 p.m.

“We have 17 teams from surrounding counties who will compete in this event,” said Lori Pearman, assistant professor of mathematics in the School of Science and Mathematics and co-director of the Science Olympiad. “The ASSETS Scholars at ABAC will assist the students competing.”

Students will compete in various fields including physics, forestry, chemistry, biology, and music. They will also take part in device events where students have to create items including a gravity vehicle, helicopter vehicle, and a robot arm.
