The Academic Olympics featured a dynamic range of competitions across subjects such as mathematics, science, literature, and the arts, offering students an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Participants took on rigorous individual and team challenges, solving complex problems and answering thought-provoking questions.
Adding a hands-on element to the competition, students tested their engineering prowess in creative challenges like the popsicle bridge competition and the egg drop contest, where they applied physics and critical thinking to real-world scenarios.
The atmosphere was electric with excitement, determination, and a shared passion for learning. Beyond the thrill of competition, the event fostered a strong sense of camaraderie and collaboration, reinforcing the values of teamwork and lifelong learning.
With such a successful launch, Roam the Dome and the Academic Olympics have set a new standard for celebrating academic excellence at PCC, leaving students inspired and eager for next year’s competition.
