About

Teams of six students plus an adult supervisor compete in a Power Round, subject-specific individual tests, and a team round, with roughly 70 teams accepted each year due to space limits; an individual-only track is also offered. Awards include trophies, medals, and sponsor-funded cash certificates presented at a closing ceremony.
