Events You Wish Science Olympiad Had
Do you have any ideas for Science Olympiad, or any events you wish Science Olympiad had?
What would be the rules for this event, and how would it be run?

Re: Events You Wish Science Olympiad Had
Is that science? I suppose it involves logic and deductive reasoning...isn't this somewhat covered in Crime Busters? But without the science?Cedavis6 wrote:Process of elimination, where you are given hints about stuff (eg. Whodunit) and find the answer.
I would own this event.
I'd like to see a cognitive science event. The problem is it doesn't really fit into any of the five major areas of science according to Science Olympiad.

This is more of a study event, you take clues from what you read, and apply it to questions involving elimination.
I'm really bad at explaining things.

I would love to see Quatum Quandry trial event become a real event.

Re: Events You Wish Science Olympiad Had
I wish there was a purely math event, not just Technical Problem Solving and Fermi Questions.

Re: Events You Wish Science Olympiad Had
I would like a psychology based event.... It could also branch out into stuff like game theory, evolution, or some other people based science subjects. It would be run as a study event, and possibly there would be some books to read BEFORE comp. that you would have to answer Q's on.
Also I wish the rest of the country had Heredity (BEST EVENT) so that I had people to talk to about it
Can you tell what my fav. area of science is
Edit: Or is this to abstract an area of science for SciOly? Any opinions?

Re: Events You Wish Science Olympiad Had
Yeah, of the trial events, I would love to both compete in that and Nuclear Science Lab.Hosj wrote:I would love to see Quatum Quandry trial event become a real event.
I would also love to see an event about digital logic and electronics.
