Each year, the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) hosts the New Jersey Regional Science Bowl, a double-elimination contest with question-and-answer rounds in the fields of chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, mathematics, along with general and earth sciences. Teams from middle and high schools, along with home-schoolers, are invited to enter. 

The New Jersey Regional Science Bowl is open to all of New Jersey and surrounding areas that do not have a regional Science Bowl competition nearby (within 50 miles).

The top team from each regional competition wins an expense-paid trip to the national competition in Washington, D.C. Trophies are awarded to the first, second and third-place teams.
