From the Minnesota Academy of Sciences (MAS):
Science Bowl provides an engaging, fun way for students to socialize while sharpening their STEM skills! This year's virtual Science Bowl will not require students to travel, so now is the perfect time for schools from across Minnesota to try out the event. Full scholarships may be available.
During Science Bowl, students work in teams to solve problems and quickly answer questions from all branches of science and mathematics. These one-day competitions run in a fast-paced, Q&A format, similar to Quiz Bowl or Knowledge Bowl. In the virtual format, teams compete simultaneously in the initial rounds, with high scorers advancing to the elimination rounds for the championship.
Student who participate in Science Bowl:
☑️ expand their STEM knowledge
☑️ gain confidence in their abilities
☑️ strengthen critical teamwork skills
☑️ have fun with their friends

Any current public, private, or home school team is welcome to participate. Teams of home-schooled students will be considered to belong to a school as long as they are part of an official home school association. If you're a teacher or parent, learn more and register your team(s) here.
