History

MIT hosted its first Science Bowl tournament in 2016, providing a home to the Northeast Regional Middle School Science Bowl. In 2019, we hosted our first high school invitational, with questions sets written by our board members. The middle school Regionals and high school Invitationals have been held annually ever since.
