The Science Olympiad account gives you and your team full access to SkyCiv analysis software, file storage, tutorials and the Science Olympiad S3D app. SkyCiv Structural 3D is the main program used to model and test your boomilever and tower structures. You will model the structure (defining the location of the nodes, members and forces) then apply loads and test it for material stresses and deflection. This will allow you to digitally build the model, and simulate its performance, without physically building the structure.

Simply click Buy Now to purchase your Science Olympiad account via credit card and receive instant access. Forget waiting to install or update the software! Since our software is completely web-based, you have immediate access to the programs and files from your internet browser.

With how this license is set up, you won't be adding the students individually to the license. Your team members/students will be able to login to SkyCiv at the same time (up to four maximum). They will login using the account details you provide during the purchasing process, specifically the Email and Password.

Each team will share a single account, so they share the same file manager. Users can create folders to organise their designs, but we recommend everyone get in there and try designs.

Once you have your main model, you can only have one person in the file at the same time (you will be alerted if someone is editing at the same time). There is also file revision functionality, so you can always roll back a previous save.

All the company files are private, encrypted on our server and backed up daily. You are protected and safe. Your files are stored on SkyCiv's secure servers which you can access at anytime. Please contact us if you have any further questions concerning your file management or security.

Unfortunately, as this is a competition there is no support or help available for modelling and testing your Boomilever. We have some great guides and tutorials in our documentation, including some helpful videos. If you're experiencing issues with access or technical difficulties we can certainly help there.

Absolutely. You can purchase accounts in bulk via this link. Once you have checked out you will be able to start adding teams individually or via our CSV upload functionality. Your teams will receive instant access and can start designing straight away! If you need to add more seats, you can always visit the same link again and add more.

Once the app is installed, simply open the app from within SkyCiv Structural 3D. This will automatically override the materials with three Balsa wood materials for you to use. You can then select any of these materials to design your boomilever! Questions getting started?

On the day of your competition event, participants will toggle the app into Competition Mode to build their models. Once ready, teams can submit their last test. At this point, teams will enter in their own unique Event ID which should be provided ahead of the event. Event Organizers can then download a spreadsheet of all the scores to see who the winner is!

On the day of your competition event, participants will toggle the app into Competition Mode. Teams will then build their model with a clean canvas, sticking to the rules and limits provided by Science Olympiad. This mode will limit you to 5 solves, so use them wisely!
