THE 23RD ANNUAL BLUE LOBSTER BOWL
A Regional Competition of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl
PRIMARY COMPETITION DAY: Saturday, February 29, 2020
Snow postponement day: Sunday, March 1, 2020
Every winter, MIT Sea Grant sponsors a fast-paced, one-day ocean science competition. Rounding its 22nd year, the Blue Lobster Bowl includes over 120 students from as many as 24 Massachusetts high schools. The National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) was created in 1998 in honor of the International Year of the Ocean and, since its inception, the competition has grown to include 300 schools and over 2,000 students annually.
Topics include the biology, chemistry, geology, physics, history, and economics of the ocean, as well as ocean-related current events. The winning team competes in the national finals in Washington, D.C. in April.

VOLUNTEER
Volunteers are fundamental in running the quiz bowl. We seek ocean-lovers, STEM role models, and those with ocean-related careers. Keep score or time, run answers, judge science or rules, moderate, grade written responses, organize the science room, or update the electronic scoreboard.
Apply to volunteer by February 4, 2020. Volunteer trainings will take place in February 2020.
WANT TO START A TEAM AND COMPETE?
The 2020 Team Intent Forms and $50 registration fee (or Financial Need Waiver Application) were due to MIT Sea Grant by Wednesday, December 4, 2019.
