Education Programs
The Department of Energy is committed to increasing opportunities for minority students, faculty and institutions to participate in activities related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at the Department of Energy. Below are a list of the student programs and activities OMEI sponsors.
Regional Science Bowl
 OMEI is responsible for coordinating the Regional Science Bowl for high school students in Washington, D.C. This program was expanded in 2009 to include all DC public and charter high schools.
The regional bowl winners will participate in the National Science Bowl. This event is held annually and represents an academic competition that encourages student involvement in math and science activities and improves awareness of career options in science and technology at the Department.
