B-8 Wednesday, December 4, 2013 The Press-Dispatch Department of Energy's National Science Bowl Teams of high school and middle school students across the country can now register to compete in the 24th annual Department of Energy's National Science Bowl (NSB). Thousands of students compete in the contest annually and it has grown into one of the largest academic math and science competitions in the country.

Dehmer, Acting Director of the DOE Office of Science, which manages the National Science Bowl and sponsors the NSB finals competition. "These students represent our nation's future science leaders. We wish them success in their efforts to reach the National Finals in Washington, D.C." Teams of students can sign up to participate in the NSB by registering with the coordinator for their local competition, which they can find on the NSB website, science.energy.gov. There are separate competitions for high school and middle school. Regional competitions for each area typically last one or two days and take place throughout the country between January and March. During the regional and national competitions, students participate in a fastpaced verbal forum to solve technical problems and answer questions from all branches of science and math. Each team is composed of four or five students and a teacher who serves as a coach. Teams can find sample questions on the NSB website to help prepare for the competitions. The winning team from each qualifying regional competition will receive an all-expenses-paid trip to compete in the National Finals, in Washington, D.C., from April 24 to April 28, 2014.
