LAS VEGAS – After two years of virtual competitions, the Nevada Science Bowl is back and ready to crown a new set of champions during its first in-person contest since the pandemic.
The 32nd annual Nevada Science Bowl competition is slated for Saturday, Feb. 4, and will feature 24 teams representing 18 high schools from across the region. First-prize titleholders are awarded $5,000 and will advance to the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C., April 27 to May 1.
Competition heats begin at 7:30 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, at the College of Southern Nevada, North Las Vegas campus, 3200 East Cheyenne Ave., with the grand-prize announcement at approximately 5:30 p.m. Students will answer questions on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in a fast-paced, question and-answer format throughout nine rounds.

The top 12 teams will receive cash prizes for their school’s math and science
