Schedule of Events

In following Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium's sustainability plan, we are offering this year's Regional Science Olympiad schedule and map as a downloadable pdf. If you need a paper copy, please feel free to ask for one during check-in. However, the more paper copies we release the more trees that are affected by commercial paper mills.  Please help us choose a more sustainable environment and use the pdf. instead.
