LAPS News:
The Los Alamos High School Science Bowl team of Drew Baklania, Jack Harris, Lintet Thun, Mintet Thun and Anna Simakov made an “exciting comeback” at the competition held at Albuquerque Academy over the weekend and will be in the running for 2024. Won regional championship.
Mintette is a senior, Lintette is a junior, and Drew, Jack, and Anna are freshmen. They are scheduled to travel to Washington, D.C. in April for the national convention https://science.osti.gov/wdts/nsb.
The other two LAHS teams battled against tough competition and did Los Alamos proud. Team members include seniors Kepler Smith and Jason Chao, sophomore Jasper Carpenter, and freshmen Noah Bain, Gavin Bent, Thomas Daligote, Lydia Davis, Julie Fadner, and Still Jer. included.
The team will be coached by LAHS physics teacher Ari Renner.
“This was an incredibly enthusiastic and positive group and we look forward to even more great science bowling in the future,” she said. “They displayed incredible knowledge and even better sportsmanship on Saturday.”
The National Science Bowl brings together thousands of middle school and high school students from across the country for a fast-paced question-and-answer session where they solve technical problems and answer questions about a variety of science fields, including biology, chemistry, and earth. Compete in format. and space science, physics, and mathematics.
The top two middle school and high school teams will win $5,000 for their school’s math and science departments. Any other school that finishes in the top 16 at the national finals will receive her $1,000 award for their science department.
Currently, NSB attracts more than 10,000 middle and high school competitors each year. Approximately 344,000 students have competed in the National Science Bowl® Finals since the first competition in 1991. The knowledge that former competitor They’re learning, and more importantly, the collaboration skills and study habits they’ve learned along the way are leading to success in a variety of fields. Many people became researchers. Others are professors of science and mathematics.
The 2024 contestants will follow in the footsteps of previous National Science Bowl® contestants and blaze a trail for science, math, and engineering students.
