While quarantine has certainly slowed things down, virtual events are still going in full swing. These promise to be a new challenge for the students- some happening on national platforms, and others being exclusive to Scholastican club members.
The Monthly Science Olympiads:
Scholastica Science Club
Scholastica Science Club holds a monthly science Olympiad that puts all its participants to test.
