Coaches help enhance and foster students' interest in the ever-changing worlds of science, technology, engineering and mathematics
Coaches' Roundtable
The monthly Coaches' Roundtable meetings provide a unique opportunity to collaborate as coaches, with other coaches, in a stepwise fashion to support you in your role. Science Olympiad can feel overwhelming at times serving as a coach, whether new or experienced, and these meetings provide a platform to connect with your peers who are encountering the same problems or may have encountered them previously and can offer suggestions based on their experience.
Check back in the fall for upcoming meeting links and topics.
