Hays Regional—High School:
Five Skyline High School students combined their science knowledge to compete with eleven other Western Kansas schools participating in the Hays Regional contest on February 9th. Busy weeks of Scholars' Bowl, homecoming and basketball left us short of time to complete the engineering tasks, so we ended with eleven open events. "Thank You and Congratulations!" to these students for their commitment to challenging themselves, taking risks, and exploring new topics to compete in an academic competition! These students worked independently to prepare for their events.

Hays Regional--6th-9th Grades:
The 6-9th grades Science Olympiad Team competed in a variety of events at the Hays Regional on February 7th. The 23 events test the skills of young scientists in all areas of science. Six of the events involved building something for the competition. These engineering type events are very time consuming to design, construct and test items such as bottle rockets, wind power, towers, hovercraft and a balsa plane. Other events are more academic, involving studying about weather, anatomy, rocks, stars, and still others have students performing labs or doing other team activities.
