About Scio.ly

We're on a mission to make Science Olympiad practice accessible, engaging, and effective for students everywhere.

Our story

Hey! We're Aiden and Kundan. We experienced firsthand the challenge of finding high-quality, centralized practice materials for Science Olympiad. After spent countless hours searching for past tests, we decided to build the platform we wished we had: a comprehensive, accessible, and user-friendly test-taking platform that would empower students to excel.
