The LVJUSD Science Odyssey is an exciting annual event that celebrates science and engineering, bringing together students, families, and the community. During the event, LVJUSD students showcase their innovative experiments, sharing their findings with the public. Judges evaluate the displays, engaging with students to discuss their experimental processes and the knowledge they've gained throughout their projects. The Science Odyssey also offers a wonderful opportunity for community members to volunteer as judges, contributing their expertise and inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Congratulations to our 2025 Science Odyssey Winners!
