“Rockville’s Robert Frost Middle School once again emerged victorious in this year’s National Science Bowl Regional Championship, maintaining their impressive 3-year winning streak. The highly-anticipated annual event, held on March 11, 2023, brought together middle school students from all across the Maryland/DC region to showcase their quick thinking and scientific knowledge on a wide range of topics including physics, chemistry, biology, and more.
Led by team captain Meghna Singh, members Cody Gao, Lucas Kim, Zoe Gorbachev, and Kiran Oliver remained undefeated throughout the morning’s round-robin style competition before advancing to the final round. After an intense final round, Frost defeated Takoma Park Middle School, sending them home with second place, while Herbert Hoover Middle School placed in third.
“As the defending champion, there were a lot of expectations for us to live up to, and I’m glad we didn’t disappoint.” said Meghna Singh. “This year was really special because it was the first time we had competed in person after COVID.”
The Frost team’s victory has earned them a spot in the upcoming national championship, which will be hosted by the US Department of Energy. Set to take place from April 27 to May 1st, the competition will feature 50 other teams from across the US who will travel to Washington DC to compete for the coveted title of Science Bowl Champion.”
