Is Cornell B running at Regional or State level?

In checking the schedule of events for next year's SO Summer Institute, one of my former Olympians saw that Road Scholar is not listed as one of the scheduled events for 2020-21. Anyone hear about this?

Can someone please explain how to make it so the fulcrum fits perfectly with the beams? Like did you guys just use a drill and drill the same size screw into the beams and use that as the fulcrum? Or was there a hole drilled and a dowel was used as the fulcrum? And if so how would you find the perf...

By the way, I'm a big fan of yours.

Thanks and right back at you and your team as well!

For those of you who have attended an invitational already, question.... I see on the score sheet for Simple Machines (Div B) that the ratio scores are being inputted as A/B and B/C. Are you giving them the proportion as 4:1. 6:1, 3.2:1, etc... or are you dividing A by B and answering with the const...

To all NY City Science Olympiad teams - The Long Island Science Olympiad (LISO) is a great opportunity to get in some practice, have some fun and compete against a lot of the best teams around (not to mention coming home with all graded tests!) And don't forget, it is the least expensive SciOly Invi...

Thank you Name for getting the point. And yes, "taking first across the board" is a bit hyperbolic, but there are schools in competitions who do just that. Hyperbolic yes, but it is possible to get pretty darn close. This discussion was started by a Div B coach and I am only trying to hear different...

An 8th grader on my team won 1st in thermo at nats in 2018, and two op 8th graders on our team got 2nd in wa...

Also 9th graders don't have as much as an advantage as you would think. Most are not taking AP/advanced sciences as a freshman, and don't really get an advantage because they are in Highschool. It's mainly just about experience....tho I'll say that if my middle school let 9th graders compete in Div...
