Educational Programs (K-12)
National Ocean Sciences Bowl
The NOSB is a nationwide academic competition among teams of high school students. Twenty-five separate regional competitions are held around the U.S. in February with the final national competition held in April. The NOSB tests students' math and science skills as applied to topics on ocean (and Great Lakes) biology, chemistry, geology, physics, technology, history, and economics. High school teams of four students, one alternate, and a coach compete in 18 minute long rapid-fire question and answer matches during the day-long round-robin, double elimination competition. GLERL's Ann Arbor office coordinates and co-hosts the Great Lakes Bowl, which is held at the University of Michigan.
Southeast Michigan Regional Science Fair
In conjunction with the annual Southeast Michigan Regional Science Fair, GLERL sponsors awards for outstanding projects in aquatic science in each of the Science Fair divisions: Senior Projects, Junior Projects, and Junior Models and Collections. GLERL staff act as general science fair judges as well as judges for the GLERL awards.
