Ocean Bowl (NOSB)

Conval’s Ocean Bowl team was formed in 1998 to compete in the NOSB (National Ocean Sciences Bowl).  The NOSB is a nationally recognized and highly acclaimed high school academic competition that provides a forum for talented students to test their knowledge of the marine sciences including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. The NOSB was created in 1998 in honor of the International Year of the Ocean and has grown to include 25 regional competition locations with 300 schools and over 2,000 students participating annually.  Teams of 4-5 students are tested on their knowledge of scientific and technical disciplines through quick answer buzzer questions and more complex, critical thinking team challenge questions (TCQs).  The winning team from each of the 25 regional competitions is provided transportation and room and board accommodation to advance to the NOSB Finals Competition held in a different location each year in April.
