As an alumni organization, our purpose is to support the activities of the NCSO in its mission to attract and retain the pool of K-12 students interested in entering STEM degrees and careers in North Carolina. This organization of SO alumni will support these tournaments primarily through running our own annual Raleigh Division B Invitational and volunteering at other opportunities such as Raleigh Regional and the State Tournament.<\/strong> <strong>Join us in our mission!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">What is an Invitational?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A fun &amp; friendly competition where Science Olympiad teams can practice their skills in a real tournament setting! The results from invitational tournaments do not affect regional or state advancement or rankings! Teams use invitationals to: Practice events and build devices, experience the difficulty level of actual tests and labs, try out new team members and finalize teams for official tournaments, perfect strategies and teamwork!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">2026 Raleigh Div.
