Even in a virtual school year, Robinson fielded 4 teams for Science Olympiad, including 60 amazing young scientists. Our teams met after school and on Mondays to prepare to compete in 24 different events, ranging from Anatomy and Physiology, to Protein Modeling and Ornithology. From Codebusters and Geomapping to Circuit Lab and Designer Genes, these students put in the time and energy to keep growing and learning all year and Mr. Gross and Mrs. Stroup are so impressed with all of them. We have competed in 5 invitationals, in Pearl City Hawaii, Fairfax, Duke, NC, Westlake, NY and Troy , OH,  leading up to the Virginia Regional last week. We are excited to share that through the hard work and dedication of our RAMTASTIC Science Olympians, Robinson qualified for the state competition on March 20^th!
