Robinson’s Science Olympiad teams had their first competition of the year this Saturday at the National Cathedral School in Washington DC. It was a beautiful (and long!) day. Our two and a half teams (thanks to the SAT’s!) competed in 23 different events against 900 other students across 36 teams and represented Robinson very well. A special shout out to the army of parent volunteers who came to help run the Detectors event for the competition, Robinson is known among the Science Olympiad Community for our outstanding volunteers! Our team will compete again January 11.

Congratulations to our medalists (top 6 medal)
