They’re smart, studious and ready to rumble.
The five-member team of Venice High School academic competitors left for Washington, D.C., Thursday to defend the school’s regional and national crown in the DWP Science Bowl.
Last year, Venice High School captured the national competition for the first time in the Science Bowl’s seven-year history, and this year returning champs Noah Bray-Ali and David Dickinson will lead their team against 26 other city high schools.
Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Science Bowl pits kids against each other in a battle over science, technology and math knowledge.
“It’s been incredible in reviving interest in science,” said Venice High coach Richard Erdman.
