The Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for BioMolecular Modeling is pleased to be working with Science Olympiad this year to offer the 2012 Protein Modeling Event. Exams and all on-site building materials are being provided as part of a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and sponsorship from 3D Molecular Designs.
Teams may use any materials they wish for the pre-build portion of the competition. Teams wishing to purchase a kit from 3D Molecular Designs may do so at http://www.3dmoleculardesigns.com/scienceolympiad.asp
Coaches for this event may find useful training material at http://cbm.msoe.edu/stupro/so/index.html
The list of species for the Forestry event has been posted (see the Event Resources section). This is the list that regional and state tests will draw from. For the national list, see the National Forestry List
In taking over leadership of the Colorado Science Olympiad, I step into some very big shoes. Tom Reed served as President of the Colorado organization since its inception, and provided marvelous leadership for many years. I am humbled to be taking over from him, and hope to continue his legacy. Of course, with any leadership transition comes both uncertainty and grand new ideas. I will be content to focus on a stable transition this year, and hope to provide the same level of excellence and opportunity for our state's student competitors. I welcome you all to the 2012 competition season, and hope that it will be the best ever!
It takes an army of volunteers to run the regional and state tournaments. If you'd like to make the 2012 competition season even better than 2011, please contact one of the event coordinators, listed on the Contact Information page.
We'll post links to news stories about Science Olympiad in the "News" section. If your local newspaper or online news source runs a story, please let us know (see the Contact Information section) and we'll include it.
