Teams of eight are invited to enjoy an evening of cocktails, tailgate fare and a silent auction while competing in a trivia bowl against other teams for the coveted title of Brainiac Bowl 2010 Champion.

Brainiac Bowl comes just after Sci-Tech Discovery Center’s successful first exhibit, Grossology: The Impolite Science of the Human Body, ended its three-month run on January 3, 2010. Sci-Tech Discovery Center is currently under renovation to become a full-fledged museum that will re-open in October of 2010 with the new exhibit Math Midway. This colorful, carnival-themed exhibition is designed to excite youth about the universal language of math. The exhibit will include interactive components such as the Square-Wheeled Tricycle, Mind-Bending Mirrors, Terrific Tessellations and Hypnotizing Harmonics.
