The NOSB, an interdisciplinary ocean science education program of the Consortium for Ocean Leadership (COL), is a quiz-bowl style academic competition that tests students' knowledge of ocean-related topics, which include cross-disciplines of biology, chemistry, policy, physics and geology. The event begins at 8 a.m., Student Union.

SSU's STEM 360 program coordinates the fair as well as other outreach efforts, including FIRST LEGO League and a summer enrichment camp for K-16 students and educators. The public is invited to view the projects Wednesday, February 6, 3:30 - 7 p.m. and Thursday, February 7, 8:30 - 11 a.m., Student Union. Fair schedule: http://bit.ly/RSEF2019 SANDRA M.
