North Carolina

North Carolina is one of the largest state organizations in the nation, with nearly 600 teams. It ran a version of Science Olympiad in the 1970s, which partially inspired the modern incarnation originating in Michigan. Historically, teams from North Carolina that compete at nationals have done well.

History
North Carolina has been running a version of Science Olympiad before the variant many of us know today, starting in 1974. It is a consistent competitor and often sends fairly strong schools to nationals.

Division C

 * Duct Tape Challenge is added as an NC-Only event*
 * Game On replaced with Bottle Rocket
 * Hydrogeology replaced with CodeBusters
 * Robot Arm replaced with Amazing Mechatronics

Note: At the beginning of the year, Duct Tape Challenge was supposed to be replacing Experimental Design in both divisions, but after the conclusion of the regional competitions the state tournament director decided to include Experimental Design at the state tournament as a scored event in both divisions. As such, NC has 24 events in each division for the 2017 State Tournament.
