This weekend, teens from across the country will gather at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon to compete in the 2017 National Ocean Sciences Bowl® offsite link (NOSB). The competition gives high school students a chance to dive deep into ocean sciences — topics that are rarely covered in high school science classes. These young ocean experts will demonstrate their knowledge of the ocean and explore this year’s theme of "Blue Energy: Powering the Planet with Our Ocean."
