AMC in National Science Olympiad 2010
Our participation
The Archimedean Middle Conservatory elevated its performance to a higher level of excellence in team Science Olympiad competitions this year. In February 2010, we won the South Florida Regionals of Middle School Science Olympiad. In April, we won 1st place in the State Finals of Middle School Science Olympiad at Orlando. As the State Champion, we represented the State of Florida in the National Tournament of the Science Olympiad 2010 at University of Illinois – Urbana-Champaign in May 21-22, 2010.
Our participation in the National tournament (the 52 top teams from each state and a few 2nd best teams for a total of 60 teams) was a great honor for a brand new team, in its third year of Science Olympiad Competition.Our best results (top 25) were as follows:
Overall the team was placed 43rd in the nation. This is the beginning of a new road for our school. Our objective should be that we are placed in the top 10 in the nation in next year’s competition and compete for the 1st place in the following year. We will need to increase our resources and the depth of our coaching teams to include scientists and engineers among the School’s parents and friends.
A top-10 finish will be an amazing recognition for our Schools and its student team members.In addition, the University that is hosting the National Tournament offers 4 year tuition wavers to all gold medal winners for all 23 High School Olympiad events.
I would like to thank and congratulate both Dr. Kalai (the leader of the Archimedean Schools Science Competitions) and our Science Teacher Mr. Palacios for their tremendous effort to guide and mentor our star students.
The student team consists of the following students:
I would like to also congratulate the Principal of the School Ms Moysidis for her leadership and support of the team throughout the year and all the parents who helped the team.
