The Thomas Jefferson Middle School Science Olympiad team won the Indiana State Competition on March 20, 2021 and they’re gearing up for Nationals! Beating out 28 teams, TJMS won the 2021 Indiana Science Olympiad State Title, and for the first time ever they did it virtually. They persevered throughout a year of changes, marking the 28th State Title for TJMS and Coaches Richard Bender and Carol Haller. This year's tournament consisted of 23 events in which TJMS took 1st in 10, and placed no lower than top 8 in any single event, which earned them the team state title. The 2021 National Tournament, hosted by Arizona State University on May 22, will also be virtual and although the Science Olympians will miss the excitement of traveling, they are excited to compete and determined to make this year‘s National Competition one of their best! Congratulations Thomas Jefferson Middle School on your 28th State Title and Good Luck at Nationals!
