Goal

Spruce Creek High School’s Science Olympiad Program is dedicated to providing opportunities and experiences for students who cannot partake in such activities in registered classes, and those who wish to take STEM a step further. One of our goals is to make the Science Olympiad as accessible as possible, as a student’s passion for STEM-based subjects should not be influenced by their financial situation. To enhance the quality and degree of preparedness for our competitions, we seek funding to allow the practice for students wishing to participate in events they are interested in.

What will be done with my students

With the grant money, we would provide build kits for three teams spread across three plus events. There are ten build events, all of which require a level of funding. All bought kits cost around $150. These kinds of events, along with other inquiry events, are very popular among our students, and we believe this passion will become prevalent in the results. In previous years, our laboratory events have been wanting, as we have not had the finances or ability to practice and provide adequate training for them. With the addition of “Materials Science” in the standard rotation, we hope to provide extra practice and instruction for those practical events.

The following B.E.S.T. Standards will be addressed:

SC.912.CS-CC.1.1
Evaluate modes of communication and collaboration.

SC.912.N.1.1
Define a problem based on a specific body of knowledge, for example: biology, chemistry, physics, and earth/space science, and do...

SC.912.N.1.7
Recognize the role of creativity in constructing scientific questions, methods and explanations.

SC.912.CS-CC.1.1
Evaluate modes of communication and collaboration. 

 

Benefits to my students

By supporting Spruce Creek High School’s Science Olympiad, you will directly be fostering the passions of future scientists and innovators. We would like to provide students with the materials and practice needed to excel in tournaments with this grant. This will ensure that students, regardless of their financial situation, have the opportunity to engage deeply with STEM subjects and develop their skills. The funding will allow us to enhance the preparedness and performance of our students in various Science Olympiad events, ultimately leading to better outcomes and a more enriching experience for all participants. 

 

Budget Narrative

To enhance the preparedness and participation of our students in the Science Olympiad, we request funding to cover essential materials and practice opportunities. We plan to allocate approximately $1000 for build kits for three teams across 3+ events. These include 2 Wind Power Kits, 2 Electric Vehicle Kits, 2 Tower Kits, and In Process Supplies of the previously mentioned builds and the other seven builds. This funding will ensure that all students can engage deeply with STEM subjects and excel in competitions.
