National Beta State Convention allows students the opportunity to compete in various academic and STEM-based, virtual and performing arts competitions. This year, State Convention was offered as a hybrid event. This gave students the opportunity to compete either virtually or onsite at Embassy Suites in Norman, Oklahoma depending on their level of comfort. These victories at the state level provide an opportunity to compete at the national level. National Convention will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee during Summer 2022.
Silo Students really enjoy participating in State Beta Convention and I am proud to say we usually do really well in our competitions. ~ Pam Dellinger, Beta Sponsor
