Milpitas Elementary Science Olympiad (MESO) is an Olympic style competition with 15 events that covers all fields of STEM (biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, technology, earth science, inquiry, and nature of science). These events can include hands-on activities, written exams, and team-based challenges that test students' knowledge and skills in subjects like biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering. Teams are scored based on their individual performance in each event, and the team with the best (lowest) overall score wins. (Placements are added up. Ex: First place would be equivalent to 1 point added to a team's score).
Each school can have multiple participating teams.
