Montana Science Olympiad Sponsorship
The Science Math Resource Center is pleased to partner with a number of MSU colleges,
departments, student clubs, and centers to sponsor the Science Olympiad state tournament.
Partners beyond Montana State University also contribute.
In addition to our fiscal sponsors, contributions come from volunteer hours, in-kind
donations, and experiential STEM opportunities from MSU affiliates, non-profit organizations,
and private sector companies.
We appreciate you and we couldn't do it without you!

Museum of the Rockies STEM Night
A special thank you to the Museum of the Rockies for hosting the STEM Fun Night on
the evening before the tournament - an annual tradition!
MoR opens its doors to Montana middle and high students and their coaches and chaperones
to offer complimentary admission, planetarium shows, and exhibits by community STEM
partners.
Many students travel long distances from across Montana to compete in the Science
Olympiad and they may be visiting the Museum of the Rockies for the first time!
