Science Olympiad Launches US Air Force Partnership

Announcing our newest Platinum Sponsor, the US Air Force! They brought amazing technology to the 2011 Science Olympiad National Tournament, including a customized Orange County Chopper motorcycle for those who are wild about mechanics and engineering, and a ground-rattling NASCAR show car. During the Opening Ceremony, we heard from Col. Thomas Kenney, Chief, Operations Division, Headquarters Air Force Recruiting Service, who inspired the crowd with his remarks. The US Air Force recognizes that Science Olympiad team members embody many of the core principles that make a great leader, and awarded the two gold medal winners of the Remote Sensing event at the 2011 Science Olympiad National Tournament with $1,000 college scholarships. A former Science Olympiad competitor now serving in the Air Force said, "Science Olympiad gave me an opportunity to develop my scientific and engineering mind so when I went to college and eventually on to my military career, I was a better prepared individual." If you've got an Air Force connection in your Science Olympiad life, please share your info in an Alumni Survey today. We are looking forward to a long-lasting partnership with US Air Force, as the Team Banquet for the 2013 Science Olympiad National Tournament at Wright State University will be held at the National Museum of the US Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Go Air Force!
