About Us

Our Mission

Making science competition prep accessible in Minnesota

Minnesota Youth Science Advocacy was founded by a group of high school students who believe that access to high-quality science competition preparation shouldn't depend on geography or ability to pay. We've seen firsthand how competition science — Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, and beyond — can transform the way students think about the natural world. MNYSA exists to make that experience available to every student in Minnesota.

Our instructors are top science competitors from high schools across the Twin Cities metro, many of whom have competed at the state and national level in Science Bowl, Science Olympiad, and physics competitions.

Get Involved

Volunteer with us

We're looking for instructors, problem writers, and day-of volunteers. If you're a strong science student (high school or college) who wants to give back, we'd love to hear from you.
