Help Conners Emerson Science Olympiad team reach Nationals!

The students of Conners Emerson Middle School have done something incredible — they’ve earned a spot to compete at the Science Olympiad National Competition! After months of hard work, dedication, and teamwork, these bright young minds took first at the state competition, but now they need your help to get to the biggest stage of all: Nationals!

Science Olympiad is more than just a competition; it’s an opportunity for our students to dive into the world of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through exciting, hands-on challenges. From building complex machines to mastering the laws of physics, our students have put in countless hours of preparation to make it this far. They’ve pushed the boundaries of their knowledge and have shown incredible resilience, all while maintaining their academic excellence and balancing extracurricular activities.

However, in order to compete at Nationals, they need to raise funds for travel, lodging, and other essential costs. That’s where you come in. By supporting this GoFundMe campaign, you’ll be helping these talented students turn their dreams into a reality.

Why Your Support Matters:

Exposure to STEM Careers: By attending Nationals, these students will gain valuable exposure to a variety of STEM fields, which could inspire future careers in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics.

Building Confidence: Competing at the national level will challenge these students and give them the confidence to take on bigger challenges both in and out of the classroom.

A Lifelong Experience: For many of these students, this experience will stay with them for a lifetime. It’s not just about winning — it’s about learning, growing, and pushing boundaries together.

How You Can Help:

We are aiming to raise $10,000 to cover the costs of transportation, lodging, and meals for our team of 15 students and multiple coaches. Any amount you contribute will go directly toward ensuring these bright minds have the chance to compete at Nationals and represent Conners Emerson Middle School and the state of Maine with pride!

Whether you’re able to donate $5, $50, or $500, every dollar counts. If you can’t donate, sharing this page with your friends and family is just as helpful!
