Who We Are
Maryland Science Olympiad (MSO) at the University of Maryland is a student-run organization dedicated to bringing the excitement of Science Olympiad to the collegiate level by hosting a Division C (high school) invitational tournament and mentoring the next generation of STEM competitors.
Founded by a group of former Science Olympiad competitors, MSO @ UMD was started to give back to the program that shaped its members' love of STEM by organizing a full-scale invitational tournament run entirely by Terps.
General body meetings are held biweekly during the semester — check our Contact page or club GroupMe for the current schedule.
