OCACS Chemistry Olympiad Registration 2022

High School students nominated by their high school teacher are invited to participate in the 2022 ACS Orange County Chemistry Olympiad competition on Saturday, March 5, 2022, from 8:30AM-11:00AM, at the Business Sciences and Technology Innovation Center (BSTIC), Irvine Valley College, Irvine CA 92618. (Note: Competitors will have to purchase a parking pass at the kiosk if they wish to park in the campus lot.)

The US National Chemistry Olympiad is tentatively scheduled to be held on April 23, 2022, and winners will go to the National Study Camp in June.

The 54th International Chemistry Olympiad is scheduled to be held July 10-20, 2022, in Tianjin, China.

Usually, OCACS organizes an Awards Dinner in May following the Chem Olympiad. If the Awards dinner is not held in 2022, as in the past two years owing to the pandemic, the top student from each School will still be honored with a certificate, and their name will be engraved on the School’s perpetual plaque. Certificates will also be given to all the students in the top 6 teams.
