Teams of students are invited to participate in the Department of Energy’s National Science Bowl Competition.  Each year PPPL hosts the New Jersey Regional Science Bowl which decides which teams from the local area can continue onto the national competition in Washington, D.C.

The Science Bowl is a double elimination contest with oral question and answer rounds in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy and mathematics plus general and earth sciences. Questions are given in a toss-up with a bonus format.
