> On February 17, 2024, we are hosting an in-person Science Olympiad tournament at UC Riverside called "Highlander Invitational <http://scioly.ucr.edu/>." Highlander Invitational is the Inland Empire's premier STEM competition, where middle and high school students from all over California will compete in a thrilling, full-day science tournament.
>  
> This is UC Riverside's FIRST EVER Science Olympiad Invitational...and we need your help!!
>  
> As this is an entirely student-run project, we are currently looking for volunteers to help out at the competition. We are looking for any undergraduate students, graduate students, or professors/faculty that are willing to help out on the day of the competition. Volunteers would be responsible for grading tests on the day of the competition along with a designated Event Supervisor (ES) for the event. We will be providing lunch as well as verified volunteer hours to all Highlander Invitational volunteers. No experience is required.
