CIRES Education Outreach has hosted a regional competition (The Trout Bowl) for 14 years impacting over 1,000 student contacts since inception, the program has a proven track record for generating student interest and excitement about science and the oceans and offers young people an exceptional opportunity to explore marine science, both as an in-depth area of study and as a possible career path. Enhancements over the years have expanded NOSB from simply a seasonal academic competition into a complex learning community. NOSB has also focused on expanding outreach to diverse audiences. The Trout Bowl teams have come from Colorado, South Dakota, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and New Mexico to compete. |
