“So there are a lot of opportunities, believe it or not, to study oceanography here in central Wisconsin.”
That’s a quote from Steve Schmidt, a biology teacher at Newman Catholic High School in Wisconsin. He’s also the coach for the school’s Lake Sturgeon Bowl team, a regional high school competition about ocean science and stewardship.
Tomorrow, he and his students will be joined by 120 other students on 24 teams from all over Wisconsin. The winning team travels to Florida in late April to compete in the National Ocean Sciences Bowl. Tune in to meet some of the students.
