Latino Club members participate in Science Bowl
"The team members are members of Walla Walla Latino Club that are interested in math and science," Erickson said. "Many of them have participated in science and engineering camps held in the summer."
There were 64 teams from Washington and Oregon competing in the Saturday event. Erickson's husband Bill is a volunteer coach. The teams are organized by and sponsored by Explorer Post 311, a Learning for Life Program, which operates as a subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America. The trip was made possible by funding grants from Pacific Power and the College Place First Presbyterian Church.
"This is the third year that Walla Walla students have participated in the BPA event," Erickson said. "Even though we are still a young team, we are answering more questions each year that we go, and we are starting to win matches."
