19th Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl

On behalf of the National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Site Office (NNSA/NSO), we are pleased to announce that the 19th Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl will take place January 29 and 30, 2010, at the Atomic Testing Museum (ATM) and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) campus. High schools in Nevada, Arizona, Southern California, and Southern Utah are invited to participate. (Schools further than 175 miles from Las Vegas will be limited to 14 teams.)

Thirty-two teams from high schools in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah will compete in the Annual Nevada Regional Science Bowl at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The winning team will travel to Washington D. C. to compete with high schools across the country.

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Science Bowl, which will be held April 29 - May 4, 2010 in Washington D.C., is a highly publicized academic competition among teams of high school students who are quizzed on scientific topics in astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, general science, mathematics, and physics.

The objective of the Science Bowl is to promote and challenge the nation’s high school students to excel in math and science. The competition consists of a round robin followed by a double elimination final. Questions are submitted by scientists at all of Department of Energy's facilities as well as from other federal agencies and university consortia. Each Science Bowl team is composed of four students, one alternate student, and a teacher who serves as an advisor and coach. More than 100,000 students have competed in the Science Bowl since its establishment in 1991.

For more information on the Nevada Regional Science Bowl contact Vicky Walter at (702) 295-2822 or by email sciencebowl@nv.doe.gov.
