Created by former National Science Bowl Competitors, ScienceBowlPro aims to provide a space for students to grow and advance in their science bowl journey. While preparing for our own competition, we encountered a fundamental problem: there was a profound scarcity of websites and apps that students could use to study science bowl. Our app not only provides an environment where students can compete with similarly motivated students, but also allows students to practice on their own. Students can explore the many practice game modes in order to enhance their competitive ability. After a practice session, users are capable of analyzing their mistakes and learning from them.
