March 31, 2015 - Rubber band powered planes, bottle rockets and model bridges are just a few of the 46 contests that made up a whirlwind day of SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING and MATH (STEM) at the University of Akron’s (UA) Regional Science Olympiad, presented by Time Warner Cable (TWC).

Hosted by UA’s Akron Global Polymer Academy and funded by a gift from Time Warner Cable, the Science Olympiad is a national competition akin to academic track meets for middle school and high school students. Each year, events are rotated to reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engineering and technology. By combining events from all disciplines, Science Olympiad encourages students to investigate a wide cross-section of scientific endeavors. Emphasis is placed on active, hands-on group participation.
