This year's Science
ExpOlympics will feature a multitude of competitive events,
activities, and demonstrations in the areas of biology,
chemistry, geology, math and computer science, and physics, as
well as several teacher workshops and the Sites Jeweler's
Science Bowl. A registration fee of $5.00 will be required for
all high school students attending the Science ExpOlympics; this
money will be used to offset the costs of t-shirts that will be
awarded to all competitive event winners and door-prize-winners
for all activities and demonstrations.

The Science
ExpOlympics program was first held at APSU in 1983. It was
organized on the APSU campus by Dr. John Foote and has
subsequently been coordinated by Drs. John D. Foote, Fred J. Matthews,
Lori Slavin,
and Carrie Brennan, as well as Ms. Diane Simmons, all members of
the Chemistry Department at APSU. The Science ExpOlympics has
been held 13 times over the past 22 years with the Biology,
Chemistry, Geology, Industrial Engineering, Mathematics and
Computer Sciences, Physics, and Psychology departments at APSU
contributing events that have challenged, amused, and been
thought provoking to more than 2500 students from over 25
high-schools. The Sites Jewelers' Science Bowl has been won by
six different high-schools over the years, including Waverly,
Hume-Fogg, Smyrna, Hopkinsville, and Clarksville high schools.
