North Carolina Science Olympiad
North Carolina Science Olympiad (NCSO) is a nonprofit organization〔(IRS 501c3 proof of non profit listing ). Irs.gov. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 with the mission to attract and retain the pool of K-12 students entering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees and careers in North Carolina.〔Doss, Ann. (June 6, 2010) (Top Skills Prime Teens for Top Jobs ). Charlotte Observer. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕〔(National Science Teachers Association: The Rise of STEM Clubs ). Nsta.org. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 Every year NCSO hosts tournaments on university, community college, and public school campuses across the state. These tournaments are rigorous academic interscholastic competitions that consist of a series of different hands-on, interactive, challenging and inquiry-based events that are well balanced between the various disciplines of biology, earth science, environmental science, chemistry, physics, engineering and technology. NCSO is housed at (The Science House )〔(The Science House at NC State ). Science-house.org. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 at NC State University.
== History ==
The first recorded Science Olympiad was held on Saturday, November 23, 1974 at St. Andrews Presbyterian College in Laurinburg, North Carolina. Dr. Donald Barnes and Dr. David Wetmore were the originators of this event. Fifteen schools from North and South Carolina participated in this event. This Olympiad was a day-long affair, with competitions and demonstrations for high school students in the areas of biology, chemistry, and physics. There were four event periods during this day, and each event period had one fun event (like beaker race or paper airplane), one demonstration (like glassblowing and holography), and one serious event (like periodic table quiz or Science Bowl). An article was published in the Journal of Chemical Education in January 1978 documenting the success of recruiting students through Science Olympiad.〔(Journal of Chemical Education- Student Recruitment Through a Science Olympiad ). Pubs.acs.org (August 3, 2009). Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 St. Andrews continues to host a Science Olympiad tournament to this day.〔(Science Olympiad Tournament at St. Andrew's Presbyterian College ).

Mr. John C. "Jack" Cairns was a teacher at Dover High School in Delaware in the 1970s when he learned about Science Olympiad taking place in North Carolina. He shared this information with Dr. Douglas R. Macbeth, the Delaware State Science Supervisor. Mr. Cairns was appointed to a steering committee to organize the first Olympiad in Delaware which took place at Delaware State University in the Spring of 1977.
By 1982, word about Science Olympiad continued to spread, and caught the attention of Dr. Gerard Putz in Macomb County, Michigan. Dr. Putz invited Mr. Cairns to share the success of the Delaware Science Olympiad with Macomb County. As a result, Michigan hosted their first two tournaments in 1983 and 1984〔(Michigan Science Olympiad ). Michiganso.org. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 while at the same time Delaware hosted eight similar tournaments.〔(Delaware Science Olympiad ). Olympiad.k12.de.us. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕 Dr. Putz and Mr. Cairns then decided to share the program with the rest of the Nation.〔(National Science Olympiad ). Soinc.org. Retrieved on January 18, 2012.〕
