I love how everyone is leveling the playing field.  I got an email from Georgia also with a workshop series:

Georgia Tech Virtual Event Workshop Series:
This fall, the Georgia Tech Science Olympiad Alumni Chapter is hosting a FREE, virtual Event Workshop Series over multiple weekends in October and November! The series may extend based on interest, and they welcome competitors from all backgrounds to join. Their workshops will cover both general topics—such as competition strategies and effective team structures—as well as in-depth, event-specific concepts. These sessions will be led by Science Olympiad alumni and event experts, aiming to provide teams with high-quality preparation, especially for those who may not have access to paid resources.
