Science BowlThe Science Bowl competition is an event in which students compete as teams of four against each other in a "Toss up/Bonus" question format. The competition involves Junior and Senior levels. A unique requirement about the competition is that 20% of the questions are about African American inventors, scientists and engineers. Winners at the local level attend the NOBCChE National Conference to compete. The NOBCChE, Gulf coast Chapter’s Science Fair Competition will be held Saturday, February 17, 2007, 8:15 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. at Texas Southern University.
