Maryland Science Olympiad Division A — dates, events, and how to prepare
Run by Maryland Science Olympiad with Howard County volunteers for grades 3–6, Two sites (Howard County and Bel Air); "intended to be local". A 22-event slate and a rule manual you can read today. Here is what is on the list — and which of it your kid can practise on OlyPrep now.
From the program's own pages, read October 2026. Dates change — the official page is the one to trust.
The 22 events
The 2025–26 list (22 events, Division-B-style); rules go to registered teams only.
The rule manual has every event's scope — read it there; we link, we don't copy.
Read event by event.
OlyPrep is built to the Bay Area Elementary Science Olympiad's rules. We read Maryland Science Olympiad Division A's rules event by event: where the scope is the same, the practice is the same; where it isn't, we'd rather say so than hand your kid the wrong material.
Maryland's middle-school circuit is Maryland Science Olympiad (state tournament April 17, 2027) — Science Olympiad's Division B, one national rulebook.
