URBANA – Hundreds of teenagers invaded the University of Illinois campus on Saturday, filling classrooms, laboratories and green spaces with robot-building, glider-launching and, above all, massive amounts of excitement about all things science.
The teenagers came from around Illinois to compete in the Illinois Science Olympiad state tournament, but three groups didn't have to travel far. Teams from Centennial High School, Franklin Middle School and St. Matthew Catholic School, all in Champaign, advanced past the regional competitions to try their skills against some of the state's best student scientists.
