What is VASO – Division A It is a sister organization to the Virginia Science Olympiad (VASO) A friendly competition designed for 3-5 grade students to experience science This is an introduction to middle school (Division B) and high-school (Division C) Science Olympiad programs 

School Team Structure A team is defined as a group of students residing within the same school attendance zone and from the same school. Teams may not be comprised of students from different schools that attend the same after school activity. A team may be any number of students up to a total of 45 students. (Teams may further break this larger team into smaller groups as they like.) Students in grades 3-5 are eligible to participate in division A. Smaller groups within a team may be mixed with some students from each grade level, or they may be based on grade level with students all coming from the same grade level. VASO write and run our own competition based on and mirroring if possible the SO competition. No National or State level.

Tournament Schedule The tournament is a one day event. The schedule assumes that there will be 25 schools registering. Schools will receive their team number after they register. Teams will be able to sign-up for a time to compete in Pentathlon and all tech events. A link to an online sign-up will be sent after registration closes in February. When signing up, please make sure not to schedule a student for more than one event at the same time. Use your team number plan your team schedule. All students and coaches will receive wrist bands. Students will need to show these bands at each event.
