Upper School students compete in Maine State Science Bowl

Ten Waynflete students recently competed in the Maine State Science Bowl, a trivia competition sponsored by the Department of Energy. Coached by science teachers Wendy Curtis and Katrina St. John, Waynflete’s two five-person teams faced off in this rapid-fire, buzzer-style competition via Zoom against other teams across the state. Both teams advanced to the quarterfinals before being eliminated after two narrow defeats. 

Congratulations to all students involved for an excellent showing! A special thank you to Science Bowl enthusiast Jacob Curtis ’22 for graciously filling in as a substitute coach on competition day.

Waynflete team 1: Nik Chaney ’24 (captain), Mira Levine ’24, Tipton Heminway ’24, Miles Sims-Kastelein ’24, Wyatt Adams ’24

Waynflete team 2: Jack Vickery ’24 (captain), Rose Bukowski-Thall ’24, Fallon Culley ’25, Nico Herrera ’25, Abie Waisman ’25
