Elementary STEM Bowls
The annual Lancaster-Lebanon Elementary STEM Bowls are fast-paced quiz-bowl-style competitions, complete with sophisticated buzzers, designed to showcase and apply 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students’ knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). The event consists of two components:
- Quiz Bowl style matches in which each team of four students competes against another team to answer a series of toss-up questions and bonus questions, and
- Hands-on design and problem-solving activities presented by Millersville Pre-Service Teaching Students.
