Thousands of high school and middle school students begin a journey this month that they hope will take them to the finals of the Department of Energy’s annual National Science Bowl, America’s largest and most prestigious science competition for middle and high school students.
The National Science Bowl is the only educational event and academic competition of its kind that is sponsored by a federal agency.
“The DOE National Science Bowl is an important part of DOE’s efforts to encourage America’s young scholars to explore the fields of science and engineering,” said Patricia Dehmer of DOE’s Office of Science. “We hope that this activity will inspire a new generation of researchers in disciplines important to solving the energy and environmental issues facing our nation and the world.”
Regional competitions begin this weekend in New Mexico and Maryland. Los Alamos National Security, LLC, which operates the Laboratory, the Community Programs Office (CPO), and Sandia National Laboratories are cosponsors of the state competition, which is Saturday at the Albuquerque Academy.
