The Minnesota Statewide Science Bowls are fast-paced team competitions engaging middle and high school students in all branches of science and math.
Will you help us bridge critical funding gaps for MN Science Bowls?
Due to a decline in sponsorships, the ending of a federal grant, and changes to our foundation general support funding, our Science Bowls program is facing a serious budget deficit. After cutting expenses and increasing registration fees, we still need to raise at least $6,000 by December 31st in order to hold in-person Science Bowls in the winter of 2026. Your donation will help ensure we can maintain the these beloved competitions so we can recognize the achievements of these hard working students!
Minnesota State Science Bowls give over 240 students each year the chance to:
- Deepen their STEM knowledge;
- Collaborate with peers to develop teamwork and leadership skills;
- Build confidence in their abilities through healthy and fun competition;
- Interact with STEM professionals in an fun environment;
- Earn recognition for themselves, their teammates, and their school.
