Wa-Hi students compete in Bonneville Power Administration Science Bowl in Portland, OR
Nine Walla Walla High School students competed with students on more than 72 teams from around the region in the 23rd annual Bonneville Power Administration Regional Science Bowl on Saturday, February 1, in Portland Oregon. The students attending the event included Teresa Olivos, Paola Flores, Nadia Sierra, Ivan Rivera, Cristian Rivera, Christian Moreno, Andy Flores, Emely Flores, and Fermin Suarez.
The Science Bowl is a quiz-style question-and-answer competition that challenges students on math and science concepts. The Bonneville Power Regional Science Bowl event is the largest event of its kind in the United States.
The weekend competition marked the 11th year a team from the Walla Walla High School Latino Club has competed in this event with support from Pacific Power, College Place Presbyterian Church, and Exploring Post 311. Exploring Post 311 is a Learning for Life program, which is a subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America.
This year the trip was highlighted by a visit to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
