The United States Department of Energy is proud to present the 2022 National Science Bow (NSB).This is a nationwide academic competition that tests students’ knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Middle school teams answer questions focusing on a range of disciplines such as biology, mathematics and physics. In its 31-year history approximately 325,000 students have participated making it one of the nation’s largest science competitions. Beginning in January each year, more than 9,000 high school students and 5,000 middle school students will compete in 65 high school and 50 middle school regional Science Bowl tournaments. In order to successfully run the Illinois Regional Middle School Science Bowl we need help of volunteers to be moderators, scorekeepers, an questions judges.
