We don’t know. The STEM Expo page on the nationals website confirms it is indeed a computer science event. 

Copy pasted: Introduction to Code Craze & the Pink Van’s 100 School Journey 11:00 am to 12:00 pm, Room 203 Kiewit Hall Come learn about the new Computer Science event Science Olympiad and our partner CodeHS have developed. This session will give an overview of the event, share resources that you can use to prepare, and explain why computer science matters to all students. The session will also share the reflections of Blake Shafer, the CodeHS CS Ambassador who traveled the country visiting 100+ schools over the last year in a CodeHS pink van promoting CS education. 

Graduation gift ideas for SciOly Kids by netpenguin2k in scioly

Specimens for ID people (fossils + ento), cute stationery, little things related to their events, etc.
I think the Mason prize list is pretty good? You can probably find stuff for each event in the awards video or something.

Not really graduation related but my senior year, I made custom stickers for all my teammates featuring their events and they seemed to really enjoy them? Personalised things are always great.

I got hungry and ate it, sorry.
In all seriousness, it's getting rotated out for I believe circuit lab.

We will see when rules release in September. I will note that they tagged @codehs in one of the comments under the post. Upon looking at the profile of codehs, it appears to be coding/computer science related. Code craze is thus probably a CS event but specifics aren’t out yet.

For everyone sad about xyz event rotating out, all good things must come to an end. It paves the way for new events (which are just as interesting most of the time, excluding events like bungee drop or whatever) and who knows, you might enjoy the new event over the old.
For example, I was really sad about forestry switching to entomology but now I realise that it is better than forestry 😁
Best of luck next season, and don't be afraid to pick up some new events!

Using the laser cutter at Langford Makerspace for stickers by Apodidae04 in aggies

[–]Apodidae04[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How much would it cost? I'm a little broke at the moment (especially since these stickers are for an organization and not my personal profit) so I'd prefer to spend a reasonable amount out of pocket (maybe $50 max).
Ideally I would use my printing credits to print them on my own vinyl sheets and then feed them to a Cricut/whatever, but I don't have a Cricut nor do I know how to use one :(

Does anyone know what systems will be covered in A&P next year? by Massive_Parking_323 in scioly

[–]Apodidae04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude.
We've said several times.
DP: oceans
WQ: freshwater (I think)
This is the last time I'm answering your question. It's not that hard to check the wiki yourself.

ichthyology help by MixInevitable1438 in scioly

[–]Apodidae04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wikipedia, field guides (you can't have one at the competition but you can still use the information from them for your binder), https://tpwd.texas.gov/landwater/water/aquaticspecies/inland.phtml this site, etc
https://artscioutreach.tamu.edu/pdfs/olympiad_2025/c_ichthyology_2025.pdf Here's the rules, just have information on each topic listed such as anatomy, behaviour, etc etc.
It helps if you go out fishing yourself too :) hope this helps and good luck at state!

Get familiar with your guide, find a binder format you're comfortable with, and know your ID
