STEP Scholar’s Bowl Powered by AT&T

October 29, 2016, FMCC, Johnstown, NY

The Capital District STEP programs (Albany Medical College, SUNY Albany, Union College, RPI and FMCC) created and participated in the very first STEP Scholar’s Bowl at FMCC on October 29th. The event was co-sponsored by AT&T and this year’s winner was Union College STEP! The competition included quiz style matches revolving around Regent’s exam questions where teams went head to head with buzzers in hand.

Additionally,teams competed in hands-on challenge rooms where they had to solve an engineering problem in an allotted amount of time for points. CSTEP students from FMCC and SCCC (Schenectady County Community College) were volunteers at the event and helped with score keeping, challenge room judging & set up, and they interacted with the STEP students to share their experiences in CSTEP. The event was capped off with lunch, a free t-shirt and Senator Paul Tonko as the keynote speaker. The second annual STEP Scholar’s Bowl is tentatively planned for April 21st, 2018 at FMCC.
