About Us:

The Niskayuna Summer Invitational is organized and managed by the Niskayuna High School Science Bowl team. Niskayuna High School is located in a small, suburban town in upstate New York in the capital region. “Niskayuna” is a rough translation of the Mohawk word meaning “extensive corn flats.” Before Dutch settlers arrived, Niskayuna was a part of the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquois Confederacy. Niskayuna High School Science Bowl is hosting the Niskayuna Summer Invitational aiming to provide new rosters with the opportunity to participate in a competitive tournament before the official start of the new school year, and to further their own club’s ability to attend competitions.
