Educational Initiatives
2009 SW PA Science Bowl
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL), and the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC), South Campus, would like to invite you to participate in one of the premier scientific events for high school students, the Southwestern Pennsylvania High School Science Bowl 2009 on February 21, 2009.
There is a change this year in the registration process: All school teams who are registering must do so through the National Science Bowl website by December 22, 2008.
For those who are not familiar with the Science Bowl here are some highlights:
- This competition is open to high school student teams from Southwestern Pennsylvania (SWPA).
- Teams are quizzed on their scientific knowledge in areas such as biology, chemistry, physics, astronomy, earth science, general science, and mathematics.
- The winning team will receive an expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the DOE National Science Bowl. (April 30 - May 5, 2009)
- For the past 18 years, the winners of the SWPA Science Bowl have placed in the top ten at the National Competition.
- In 2006, the SWPA sponsored school won the National Competition, had lunch at the White House with the First Lady and traveled to Paris, France.
- In 2007, the SWPA sponsored school placed second in the National Competition and traveled to France to visit Europe’s largest nuclear power plant.
