We are thrilled to share that Gordon Lipscy received a Heart of Gold Award!

Dan Nichols , Science Olympiad Executive Director, stated the following:

"I want to give a Heart of Gold to a truly deserving gentleman, who has been a State Director for over a decade in one of the states where Science Olympiad first started. As the State Director of the Delaware Science Olympiad, Gordon has exemplified exceptional leadership and commitment. His tireless efforts in organizing state tournaments and fostering STEM education have not only ensured a seamless and enriching experience for participants but have also highlighted the spirit of collaboration and excellence that Science Olympiad stands for." 

Congratulations Gordy!!
