Albany Middle School to Compete in Regional Science Bowl Competition

Albany Middle School students are participating in an upcoming regional competition of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s National Science Bowl.

The Office of Science began this competition to interest today’s youth in pursuing careers in science and math. Twenty local schools will compete in the regional competition, held on Feb. 23 at the Las Positas College's Sandia National Laboratories Las Positas College (3000 Campus Hill Dr. in Livermore).

In the regional competition, teams of four students each will face challenging mathematical problems and be tested on their knowledge in various areas of astronomy, biology, Earth science and physics.

Only one middle and high school team apiece will be able to win the regional competition. Those teams will receive a fully-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. These prizes will be named at a later date.
