A team of students from one of your local high schools is participating in an upcoming competition to determine the team to represent Iowa in the high school National Finals of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science's National Science Bowl (http://science.energy.gov/wdts/nsb/). The Office of Science began this competition to interest today's youth in pursuing careers in science and math.
The winner of the regional competition will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the Office of Science's National Science Bowl in late April and the winner of the national competition will win prizes for the team members and their schools.
Below is information about the competition, the list of the schools that have teams competing in it and links to HD video and graphics that could be used for stories. Also, below is a blog that explains more about the National Science Bowl. If you need any additional information, please feel free to reach me by email or phone, 202-287-6990. Thank you!
