University of Michigan Science Olympiad Volunteers

Event Type: Service Hours

University of Michigan Science Olympiad (UMSO) runs the annual science olympiad invitational that attracts hundreds of students from across the country. They require over 400+ volunteers on average and TBP has traditionally been a big help to their operations.
Typical jobs included registrations, grading presentations, running awards, and, of course, seeing students excited about STEM!

Project Leaders: Michael Capitani (mcap) and Drew Boughton (drbought)
