secondary school students in grades 7-12. During the contest teams answer
written and oral questions relating to all areas of their education. Questions

from 7-9 can compete in Junior High competitions, and students from 7-12 can

compare answers to fifteen curriculum areas by pressing on pressure sensitive
strips when they know the answer. After they "buzz in" they have 15 seconds to
