Students compete in teams solving technical problems and answering questions in all branches of science and math. The one-day competition is conducted in a fast-paced question and answer format. Teams go head-to-head and ring in to answer questions, just like the TV show Jeopardy. Each team plays multiple games in a round robin tournament with the chance to advance to a double-elimination championship. The Minnesota Science Bowls are two separate events: one for middle school students (grades 6-8) and the other for high school students (grades 9-12). One winning team from each Science Bowl qualifies to represent Minnesota and compete at the National Science Bowl, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, D.C., all expenses paid.
The Minnesota Science Academy holds two regional competitions for the state of Minnesota; one for Middle School students and the other for High School students. The High School tournament is Friday January 20, 2012 and the Middle School tournament is Saturday February 11, 2012 (The University of St. Thomas will host the event and does not finalize their academic schedule until Oct. The final date will be posted as soon as possible.) Effective for the 2012 Science Bowls, there will be a maximum of 32 teams in the MN State Regional Science Bowl for High School Students and 24 teams in the Middle School Bowl. The goal of the MN Academy of Science is to maximize the number of schools/organizations participating. All participants receive a free T-shirt and a meal. The winning teams receive a trophy and individual medals and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the National Science Bowl, hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy. The second and third place teams received individual medals
