New Coach Workshop
If you are interested in attending a one hour virtual "New Coach" workshop, email Kathy at dodgenscioly@gmail.com so we can identify if there is interest for us to hold this class. If you have questions about how Science Olympiad works, experienced coaches will give you advice during this workshop. The workshop is free of charge. We will work out the date for this once we assess interest. In the past we have done it the morning of our invitational, but we are considering holding a session in October if that helps the coaches.
Email Kathy Jacobson at dodgenscioly@gmail.com if you would like to learn more about our tournament.
