Daniel Wright Middle School will compete at the National Science Bowl in Washington D.C.

What is the Argonne Middle School Science Bowl? It's a Chicago area program, but part of a national program sponsored by the Department of Energy, conducted at over 38 locations across the country. Any school or organization within driving distance from a regional site may participate if age requirements (ages 11-14) are met. Teams (4-5 students) of sixth, seventh, and eighth graders are invited to participate in one or both competitions. A participating school, home school, or organization (scouts) needs a coach (teacher or school-approved person) who will work with team(s) with one or both competitions. 2012 REGISTRATION IS CLOSED! Program Coordinator Lou Harnisch, lharnisch@anl.gov, 630-252-6925 For more Science Bowl information go to: http://science.energy.gov/nsb/middle-school/middle-school-coaches/
