David Zahren, guest master of ceremonies, speaks at the 2023 National Science Bowl® Finals Monday, May 1, 2023, in Washington, DC.

What is Science Bowl?

Truly a competition like no other, Science Bowl is a buzzer-based competition where two teams go head-to-head in a contest of both speed and knowledge. In teams of 4, with one substitute, competitors are tested on all major areas of science: Biology, Chemisty, Earth Science, Energy, Physics, and Mathematics.

Schools nationwide compete in their respective regional tournaments, from which the winners receive an all-expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. to compete at the National Tournament.
