The documents discuss plans for the 2016 Science Olympiad National Tournament to be hosted at UW-Stout from May 18-23. Over 2400 students are expected to participate in the 50 competitive events. Key elements that will be organized include housing the students in campus facilities, running the competitive events simultaneously, and creating an "Olympic Village" interactive STEM showcase on campus that will also be open to the public. Early challenges include ensuring sufficient space for large opening and closing ceremonies. Next steps involve fundraising, finalizing budgets, assigning roles, and developing the tournament website.
