The U.S. Department of Energy sponsors National Science Bowl.

“I am so very proud of our team. What an exceptional group of Bob Jones students!” Bob Jones Principal Sylvia Lambert said.

“The National Science Bowl is a great opportunity for young people across America to come together through science,” U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk said. “I want to congratulate the Bob Jones High School team on advancing to the national finals! Good luck to you — our future scientists, innovators and leaders!”

The National Science Bowl assembles thousands of students in middle and high school from across the country. They compete in a fast-paced question-and-answer format to solve technical problems. Students answer questions on a range of science disciplines including biology, chemistry, earth and space sciences, physics and math.

Winning teams from middle and high schools will compete in the national finals. Virtual format may be required, depending on COVID-19 constraints. Officials will decide on virtual or in-person play by March 1.

If 2022 National Finals are virtual, middle school teams will compete on May 7, followed by high school teams on May 21. If the competition is in-person, the youth will gather on April 28 through May 2 in Washington D.C.

The Bob Jones team does plan to attend the national finals. The Department of Energy sponsors the finals and is paying for the students’ five-day trip.
