Another interesting event was the Scholar's Bowl in which teams worked together to solve analytical questions and multimedia challenges, entering their answers into a programmed clicker for final polling.

The event ended with the Awards Ceremony in which many students were awarded with rhapsodies of laurels and acclaim. More than thirty teams across the senior and junior divisions qualified for the global rounds taking place later this year. The regional round of the WSC was a true celebration of learning!
