The 2026 Coaches Clinic is a Wrap!
Didn't make it? We have some materials to share with you anyhow!
The UNO STEM TRAIL Center hosted its very first Nebraska Coaches Clinic on October 25, 2025. There were 25 attendees including new and experienced coaches, supervisors, and current and former directors with six of these attending as presentors. It was a great day and hopefully the start to a tradition of coaches helping coaches. Our goal is to boost the number of Science Olympiad teams and the level of competition in order to promote further learning for our young scientists.
Even though you will not get the full experience or all of the infomation you have missed, we would still like to share the documents and slide shows that were used at the clinic.
