New Team Institutes
New Team Institutes are offered each summer as part of the Science Olympiad Student Enrichment
Program (SOSEP) which is entering its sixth year and is a collaboration between the North
Carolina Science Olympiad (NCSO), the Burroughs Wellcome Fund,
various universities and community colleges and numerous school
systems across North Carolina. The goal is to ensure that all
students have an equal opportunity to participate in the NCSO
regardless of their ethnicity, household income or geographic
location. This goal is realized through the offering of
New Team Institutes, the development of school-level NCSO after
school programs and participation in invitational, district, regional,
state and national tournaments.
*Only schools who are in their first
year of competition currently, schools that have not competed in the previous 3 years, or schools who have not participated at all
in the Science Olympiad before qualify for New Team Institutes.
