<p>I need more ECs that are science related.
I've heard about science olympiad but don't know really what it is or how to sign up for it and what AMC, UNSCO, USABO are. I see them all over but don't know what they stand for.</p>
<p>help?</p>
<p>AMC= American Mathematics Contest (not really what you’re looking for, but a good one if you want a quick, hard, and fun math competition!)
USABO= USA biology olympiad
I don’t know if you mean USACO? That’s USA computing olympiad.
All of these need a lot of preparation (except AMC if you’re that talented at math). Science Olympiad has various activities (ex build an electrically powered toy car) and tests on topics (ex astronomy) and also requires preparation. Also, I think it’s mandatory to have a partner and sign up as a school.
Other science EC’s are Science Fair (experiments/ engineering design), Robotics, Science Bowl (I honestly don’t know much about that one). These all take time and effort so it’s best if you pick one that you love doing. Science fair is nice 'cause you can choose a topic that interests you.</p>
<p>I’m mainly interested in Science Olympiad for Anatomy and Anatomy and Physiology
The Biology olympiad and Maybe the chemistry one.
and the Science bowl depending on what it is.
I’m basically saying i want to solely do stuff pertaining to Anatomy or Biology and maybe chem and not robotics or anything</p>
<p>you should try volunteering at a hospital… the olympiads need an established program at your school. In my area, your entire team has to advance to regionals/state/nats in order for you as an individual to advance.</p>
