The DeKalb Elementary Science Olympiad (DESO) has a virtual format for 2022. For each event, students will work in pairs at school or home. Competition during March features both asynchronous sessions at your school and optional live, online sessions on the day of the event. Our tournament is a Regional Qualifier – top teams will advance to STATE!
PRACTICE and HELP: Due to COVID restrictions, we cannot offer our popular Practice Sessions in 2022. Fernbank Science Center does offer Practice Tip Sheets for several events, however, linked below:
TEAM REGISTRATION: This event is open to elementary students attending school in DeKalb County, GA. All students must participate as a member of a team, typically school-based. Registration is required for all teams. Each school may bring one team consisting of anywhere from 1 to 20 students. At the discretion of the Olympiad Director, we allow the participation of schools from outside of DeKalb County. There is no charge for our 2022 virtual event.
KICKOFF MEETING: We held a virtual Kick-Off meeting for coaches in January 2022. If you missed it, please contact the Olympiad Director with any questions.
