Dexter Community Education

Elementary Science Olympiad is a competitive science team that offers a variety of team events designed to foster students’ interest in science. After registering for the program, students will have an opportunity to sign-up for an event via Sign-Up Genius and will then practice weekly with their event coach and teammates in a hands-on cooperative learning environment to gain expertise in their event. The program culminates in the Washtenaw Elementary Science Olympiad Tournament in the spring which brings students together from 40 area schools. Practice times are set by the individual volunteer event coaches and vary depending on the event. An individual event could practice before school, after school or on weeknight evenings. The practice timesfor each event will be emailed to all registered participants before the event sign-up date. Event sign-up will occur on November 15th via SignUpGenius.com. Event practices will be up to the discretion of the event coach and will and continue once per week for about an hour until the Science Olympiad Tournament in spring 2025. This program relies on parent volunteer coaches and Dexter will only participate in events for which we have a volunteer coach. We are limited to 21 participants per grade with between 1 and 4 students in each event per grade. Coaching is a way to ensure your child can participate in his or her preferred event!
