What is Scimathelon?

Scimathelon is a series of five minute science and math activities that are exciting, fun, and challenging. Students can participate in two ways--Design team or Competition Team. A design team member is responsible for creating a scimathelon activity and then running the school's booth during the competition. A competition team member is responsible for representing their school by trying to solve the design team's activity.

The Scimathelon competition is held every year on the last Saturday of January or first Saturday of February!

Want to join a team? Talk to your science teacher for details!
