Mānoa Campus, UH Manoa Campus Center Add to Calendar

On Saturday, March 3, 2012 the Hawaii regional competition for the National Ocean Sciences Bowl, called the “Aloha Bowl,” will be held at the University of Hawaii at Manoa campus.

The National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) is a nationally recognized high school academic competition that provides a forum for talented students to test their knowledge of the marine sciences including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, as well as marine policy.

During the competition, high school students from around the state will test their knowledge of scientific and technical disciplines through quick answer buzzer questions and more complex team challenge questions. The winning team from each of the regional competitions is provided transportation and room and board accommodation to advance to the National Ocean Sciences Bowl Finals competition that will be held in April, 2012.

This educational program was developed to stimulate interest in the ocean sciences among high school students and demonstrate to the public the importance of the oceans in our daily lives. One of the long-term goals of the program is to foster the next generation of marine scientists, educators, and policy makers for the ocean sciences.
