The lab hosted two regional competitions this year. Winners of the Science Bowl regionals go on to nationals.

Online educational programs offer new possibilities.

Twenty-eight teams went head-to-head, testing their science knowledge and buzzer skills, for the chance to go to the nationals in April.

Visitors of all ages shared a science-packed evening of activities.

From middle schoolers to graduate students, more than 300 were introduced this year to real-world science, technology, engineering and math.

This summer, five graduate students from the University of Puerto Rico had the opportunity to use SLAC’s world-class facilities to keep their studies on track.

An award-winning mentor and networking guru, Al Ashley has placed thousands of underrepresented minority students in science and engineering summer research programs.

Two dozen teams competed for a chance to go to the Nationals, and 60 trained volunteers worked to make the regional contest happen.
