Students from five schools around the state put their ocean science skills to the test in Hawaiʻi\u2019s<\/span> 16th regional Aloha Bowl as part of the 23rd annual National Ocean Sciences Bowl<\/a> (NOSB<\/abbr>) on February 15. The Aloha Bowl was organized by the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Sea Grant College Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five high school students from Punahou School won the competition and will represent Hawaiʻi<\/span> in Gulfport, Mississippi, April 16–19.<\/p>\n

“Punahou\u2019s hard work showed throughout the competition where they demonstrated an impressive grasp of the various topics and impeccable teamwork,” said Sean Holland<\/strong>, an Aloha Bowl volunteer and a School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology student. “This is their second year in a row winning the Aloha Bowl.”<\/p>\n

The quiz bowl style academic competition tests students\u2019 knowledge of ocean-related topics, which include cross-disciplines of biology, chemistry, policy, physics and geology. Ocean science is not a course generally offered at the high school level. The competitions held across the U.S. allow high school students to gain exposure to ocean science and related careers.<\/p>\n

“All the teams performed spectacularly, it\u2019s always a joy to see how the competition continues to grow and drive students to new heights every year,” said Holland.<\/p>\n

Nearly 30 volunteers from different schools, departments across 糖心视频<\/abbr> Mānoa, and other local organizations made the event possible.<\/p>\n

More on NOSB<\/abbr><\/h2>\n

NOSB<\/abbr> was developed to stimulate interest among high school students in the ocean sciences and demonstrate to the public the importance of the oceans. One of the program\u2019s long-term goals is to foster the next generation of marine scientists, educators and policy makers for the ocean sciences. NOSB<\/abbr> is a long-standing program providing high school students with high quality educational experiences and building a community of STEM<\/abbr> trained, ocean literate and thoughtful future leaders in the nation\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n
