The Association for Women in the Sciences (AWIS) is challenging quiz teams across New Zealand to compete for one illustrious title – the AWIS National Quiz Champion.

AWIS is holding simultaneous quiz nights at five venues nationwide on 11 October. Each venue will have the same quiz and, across the country, 130 teams will be competing for the title.

All profit from the AWIS National Quiz will go towards the Women in STEM Scholarship, an annual award for women studying for a qualification in Science, Technology, Engineering or Maths (STEM), particularly those whose social identity is under-represented in their field of study.

Quizzers will also be able to support fundraising efforts by buying raffle tickets or bidding on items at the silent auctions at each venue.

The AWIS National Quiz is sponsored by the University of Otago.

Please note: Teams should be a maximum of 6 people. The quiz is general knowledge, supplied by Believe it or Not.
