The ACT-SO program is an enrichment program. Over the course of each year students work with local volunteer instructors and mentors to develop projects and participate in enrichment opportunities, including workshops, tutorials and field trips specific to their competition categories.
The local ACT-SO competitions and Award Ceremonies showcase the results of the students’ hard work. Competition winners receive medals and prizes provided by the local and regional sponsors and contributors. The local Gold Medalists then advance to the national competition and have the opportunity to receive scholarships and other rewards provided by national sponsors.
