Lake Sturgeon Bowl, Wisconsin’s Regional Academic Competition for the National Ocean Sciences Bowl and Teacher/Student Professional Development
The Lake Sturgeon Bowl serves as a regional education outreach site of the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB), an academic tournament fostering an interest among high school students in ocean and aquatic sciences. Students are exposed to career opportunities associated with ocean and aquatic systems while teachers are provided with networking opportunities and professional development in marine and freshwater systems. The bowl connects both teachers and students with University researchers and graduate and undergraduate students. The Lake Sturgeon Bowl has experienced a three-fold growth in the number of competitors and teams since it hosted the first regional contest five years ago. A new addition to this continuing project is the diversity initiative, which provides support to underrepresented groups to prepare them for the competition. Cosponsors include the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Great Lakes WATER Institute, and School of Continuing Education.
