Chemistry Olympiad
2014
This year we almost made it! David Wang,
a junior at Monte Vista High School in Cupertino represented our
section at the study camp. He did not make the “traveling” team,
but was the “first runner up.” We have high hopes for him in
2015! Additionally we had another student qualify for the
study camp, but he turned it down so he could attend a summer
program at Stanford.
Overall the section had 24 schools out of over
100 high schools participate in the local section exam. We
had 17 students sit for the national exam. The CA section hosted
our students for the national exam at Las Positas College in
Livermore.
For the first time in the 10+ years that I have
been chairing our section’s Olympiad, we had 2 students score
perfect papers on the regional exam. The students are
getting smarter! As we do every year, we invited the teachers to
our summer wine tasting and awards picnic to show our appreciation
for their support and hard work.
