MN Science Quiz Bowl & Science & Engineering Fair
Promoting scientific culture in schools
About the project
The “MN Science Quiz Bowl & Science & Engineering Fair” is an educational planning project promoted by Stillwater, the Minnesota office for the Education of Talent, to support the Minnesota Academy of Science (MAS).
Every year, two regional science competitions are held in the state of Minnesota: one for junior high school students and the other for high school students.
The aim of the initiative is to promote scientific culture among young students, using play as a vehicle.
The sponsorships for projects to support the teaching of the STEM subjects include one managed by “The Partnership Plan”, an association that promotes empirical learning among young students.
In 2022 in particular, the project sponsored by Diasorin curated participation for the second year running in a NASA competition entitled “Human Exploration Rover”, providing students with direct experience in the world of applied sciences.
The project in brief
Team competition
National Science Bowl
In the initial qualifying rounds, students compete in teams to solve technical problems and answer questions in all areas of science and mathematics, in a fast-paced Q&A format, in the style of the most famous TV game shows.
The winning teams in each category qualify to represent Minnesota in the “National Science Bowl” competition, promoted and hosted by the United States Department of Energy in Washington, DC.
