In conjunction with Science North, the schools of the Rainbow District School Board have participated on an annual basis in the Math, Science and Technology Olympics event.  Grade 7 and 8 students from schools across the board travel to Science North for a challenge that the Director of Education described as,  ".... an opportunity to apply what they are learning in the classroom in an enjoyable and creative way.”

Michele Henschel, Curriculum Co-ordinator for Science and Technology added that, "In the morning, students will answer questions to test their knowledge and skills in math, science and technology.  A dedicated team of teachers from the Rainbow District School Board have worked diligently to prepare challenging questions related to Science North exhibits and the Grade 7 and 8 math, science and technology curriculum.  At the end of the day, teachers will tally the results to identify the winners.  In the early afternoon, students will participate in a construction challenge.  This is an on-site event prepared and evaluated by the staff at Science North.  It usually involves building a structure of some sort with simple materials such as straws and popsicle sticks. There is a catch. The structure must be used to accomplish a task.  The event will end with an awards ceremony that parents/guardians and members of the public are welcome to attend."
