Hamilton Middle School Science Olympiad team

The Hamilton Middle School Science Olympiad team was the MONTANA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP team at the recent competition at Montana State University in Bozeman. This is a huge accomplishment for our students/school, and also a reflection on the town's dedication to science and education. The competition is one of the nation's most prestigious science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) competitions.
The team consists of 15 students and 2 alternates who spend countless hours studying, designing and building for their events. They not only learn together, but form long-lasting bonds with their teammates, coaches and mentors. At the state level, each student competed in 2 events that included subject matter such as aeronautical engineering, epidemiology, meteorology, astronomy, paleontology and structural engineering. They built and designed roller coasters, gliders, battery powered buggies and boomilevers. At the national level, they will engage in even more fields--computer science, geography and herpetology--to name just a few.
HMS gets the honor of representing Montana at the National Science Olympiad competition at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) in May 2019. The students are passionate about their events and eager to represent Montana and our community! Participating in a competition of this caliber is the opportunity of a lifetime. The experience they will gain in visiting a world-class university such as Cornell is priceless.
We need your help! To get these amazing students and dedicated coaches to the national competition, we are asking for support from our community, family members and any others out there who support STEM education. The financial support will help cover the estimated $1,000+ costs per person for travel, lodging, meals and required materials.
The students, coaches and parents greatly appreciate any contribution you are able to make! Thank you very much!
