Welcome to the Bay Area Regional Science Olympiad (BARSO)Website. The goal of Science Olympiad is to improve the quality of science education through competitions similar to sporting events. Just as students are motivated to compete in various sporting activities, students compete as a team against other schools in 23 different events that range the spectrum of science subjects. If you are looking for a way to motivate your students, you have found it! What's more, our events are inquiry based and have been designed to correlate with the National Science Education Standards and the California Science Standards. We are the only science competition listed in the national standards as an exemplary implementation of inquiry and assessment.

BARSO hosts the regional competition for public, private, or home schools in Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Benito, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Contra Costa counties. The 2011 competition site is Foothills High School in Pleasanton, CA. If you are in another county, please head to www.norcalscienceolympiad.com for your region information.
