smayya337 (that's me!) is currently a sophomore competing for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. I competed for South County Middle School during the 2018 season and TJHSST during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Events I have participated in include Thermodynamics, Fast Facts, Wright Stuff, Sounds of Music, Potions and Poisons, Amazing Mechatronics, Circuit Lab, Codebusters, Machines, and Detector Building.

2017-18
My eighth grade year was also my first year of Science Olympiad. I got my two top choices (Fast Facts and Wright Stuff) and an event that I kind of only put down because my friend did, too (Thermodynamics).

Lanier Invitational

I gotta say, I did not expect to medal, so I was very surprised when I did in both of the events that I competed in. I also realized that I kind of enjoyed Thermo...

Regionals

A first and a second. Epic. Thermo was my favorite event by now (ironically), with Fast Facts in a distant second. I hated Wright Stuff. Still do.

States

4th was a bit disappointing, but at least I medaled.
