No other school district, city, region or state has won more than two national titles. Science Bowl provides an opportunity for our local science students to show what they know. And it is a most enjoyable and exciting experience. Rofail added that the DWP Science Bowl has grown from 16 teams and 80 students in 1993 to 48 teams and 240 students in 1999, a three-fold increase since the program began in Los Angeles. The program encourages participation by underrepresented minority and female students.
Individual students buzz in.
The student that buzzes in the fastest with the correct answer earns four points for his or her team. Then that team has the exclusive right to answer the bonus question worth 10 points. The DWP Science Bowl buzzer competition is in two parts. The top two or three schools from each division will advance to the double elimination tournament in the afternoon. All teams members and coaches will also receive tickets to a Dodger game in June.
