<p>So theres a science competition for high schools called the National Science Bowl. After reading about it on the website, The</a> Department of Energy's National Science Bowl I am unsure whether or not this would be good for college apps or if its a thing just to have fun. Any comments? Thanks in advance</p>
<p>your team has to qualify regionally first</p>
<p>It looks great for apps, especially if you qualify....</p>
<p>Well even if our team doesn't qualify, if I were to help start the team and put time to organize it, would it at least mean something, or does our team have to qualify for it to mean something?</p>
<p>it will look good if you start the team and be a leader. it will look really good if you qualify. its quite difficult to qualify tho. u need to be really good</p>
<p>The National Science Mug, or the National Science Saucer look better on college applications. Bowls are so yesterday.</p>
<p>Seems quite difficult though, lots of general science knowledge required to do well, not like its specific to one field.</p>
<p>Any further insight? Much appreciated.</p>
<p>It's a really big thing over at my school,m I think my school went to DC or something for nationals last year. I'm kind of regretting not joining back in freshman year, and it's a tad late now (I'd start out nearer the bottom, and wouldn't have the time to climb up, I think).</p>
<p>If you manage to become a team leader it could be a good way to demonstrate "leadership ability", and it would also be good in showing your passion for science or whatever if that's what you wish to pursue in college.</p>
<p>now we need a catchy name for the club/team, any ideas?</p>
<p>I've heard that if do qualify for Nationals, that the competition occurs during AP Testing week (or at least part of it). Not 100% sure, but just something to keep in mind.</p>
<p>ya April 30 - May 5th. But I for the most part, the club is about to start, but I am lacking a name. I really would appreciate ideas...</p>
<p>When I was in high school, I ended up going to nationals 3 times. It's definitely a pretty good deal, since everything is paid for, and you meet a ton of really smart people. If any of you guys have questions about it, PM me.</p>
<p>ya, im all for the competition, but i need help with making a name for the club!</p>
<p>Why does it say you have 1 post when in this thread alone you've made 5+?</p>
<p>HSL posts no longer add to your post count -- see the sticky at the top of the board.</p>
<p>lol just call it "Science Bowl"! That's what we call it at our school...</p>
<p>I ended up calling it Science Club. But I might end up changing it.</p>
<p>I have no idea what to do during meetings now.. i need help</p>
<p>Does anybody who has competed before have any good links or resources for practice questions besides the ones on the main site? I'm in the process of starting a team at my school and we are in need of practice material. Also, If you have any PDF or zip resources, I would greatly appreciate it if you could send me them via e-mail (<a href="mailto:Tommy2030@gmail.com">Tommy2030@gmail.com</a>).</p>
<p>Thanks a bunch,
Tommy</p>
