Abstract

The qualitative study examines student involvement in Science Olympiad. Five high school students participating in Science Olympiad are interviewed both before and after a regional tournament. Interviews address student motivation and interest as well as challenges and rewards. Findings suggest a link between student involvement in Science Olympiad and musical talent, out-of-school science activities, and college science major/career aspirations. Recommendations for teachers and researchers conclude the paper.
