Congratulations to the CRLS Science Team for a 9th place finish (out of a total of 45 schools) in the Massachusetts State Science Olympiad Competition on Saturday, March 22, 2014. Eighteen students participated in 25 events in all areas of science. The team has been working hard to prepare for this event since November under the excellent leadership of captains Avery Guan and Amy Tung.

The team also owes a huge thanks to the Cambridge School Volunteers and the sixteen volunteer mentors who met with teams of students weekly to help them prepare for their events. These mentors shared their time, resources and deep knowledge of specialized areas of science with our hard-working students. Our team would not have been as successful without this valuable partnership.

The full team is listed below, but the following events earned top ten finishes:

Astronomy - 7th place - Inez Khan, Shakib Pranta
Dynamic Planet - 8th place - Ellery Buntel, Shakib Pranta
Entomology - 7th place - Hajin Kim, Samantha Mai
Experimental Design - 5th place - Israel Gebremarium, Samantha Mai, Yaxin Yu
Geologic Mapping - 8th place - Israel Gebremarium, Evan Yin
MagLev Vehicle - 4th place - Inez Khan, Yaxin Yu
Rocks and Minerals - 5th place - Avery Guan, Amy Tung
