Science Olympiad Alumni Research (SOAR) Grant Winners
Announcing the winners of our $30,000 Science Olympiad Alumni Research (SOAR) Grants, Satvik Kumar from Caltech and Harrison Ngue from MIT and Harvard Medical School. The grants made by the Science Olympiad USA Foundation will help Satvik create new algorithms to advance the long-term reliability of autonomous systems integrated into transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing and healthcare, and will support Harrison’s work using chemical tags at exact sites on RNA inside cells, aiming for improvements in cancer therapies. We’re also happy to announce our $15,000 SOAR Grants to Brian Amaro from Stanford and Amelie Raz from MIT to fund the creation of an open-source database of all observed rock formations in the Solar System and research into engineering stem cells for applications like fertility treatments, tumor suppression and tissue regeneration. We are thrilled to support this groundbreaking work from our outstanding alums! Learn more about each winner.
New Resources Coming Soon
Keep an eye on the Science Olympiad Store! New Starter Packs and Stacks for the 2027 season are coming soon, along with new event kits from our partners at Ward’s Science. These new resources will be available shortly after the 2027 Rules Manuals are released, helping teams get ready for an exciting new season!
