RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Students from two Virginia schools are representing the state in the National Science Bowl.
The event will be held Friday through next Monday at the National 4-H Youth Conference Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland.
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria and Longfellow Middle School in Falls Church advanced to the national competition by winning state regional competitions earlier this year.
The top 16 high school finishers and the eight best middle school teams in the finals will win $1,000 for their schools' science departments.
