Similar to Experimental Design, this event allows for 3 people to work together. The first part of the event is a 200 question test encompassing Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Physics. The top 6 teams with the best scores move on to participate in a buzzer competition, which is as follows. Each team must choose a captain who will announce the final answer to each question, but any competitor can buzz in if they choose to. An announcer asks questions and teams are allowed 10 seconds once they buzz in to discuss the answer..
