About the Blue Lobster Bowl
The Blue Lobster Bowl is Massachusetts’ regional competition within the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. The event is a rapid-fire, marine science quiz bowl that inspires and challenges high school students. Participants are quizzed on their knowledge of the many areas of ocean sciences including chemistry, biology, engineering, history, ecology, climate change and weather.
Each match pits two teams of four students against one another. Competitors use a buzzer system to respond to rapid-fire multiple choice and short answer questions read by a Moderator. Additionally, teams work collectively to produce written answers to analytical Team Challenge Questions.
Winners of regional competitions are invited to compete in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl.
