High School Knowledge Bowl
High School Knowledge Bowl
Minnesota Service Cooperatives' Knowledge Bowl competitions are interdisciplinary academic contests designed for students. During the contest, teams of students compete in written and oral rounds by answering questions related to all areas of learning, typical of secondary educational programs. Questions test students' recall, problem solving, and critical thinking skills.
A senior high Knowledge Bowl team consists of five members only, including the alternate. Only four members compete during the oral rounds. A member of each team is appointed as spokesperson and this person should give the answer for all questions. Other team members can feed the answers to the spokesperson.
The Knowledge Bowl season runs from January through April with the state competition taking place in April.
