Academic World Quest 2009 Was a Success!

The International Institute of Buffalo held our 5th annual WorldQuest International Knowledge Competition for high school students on November 5, 2009 at Oracle Charter School, 888 Delaware Avenue.   Congratulations to the winning teams:

Here's how it works: 

• The MC leads students through 6 rounds, each with 8 questions.
• Team members cooperate to decide on the correct answer.
• Answers are collected and scored by a panel of judges at the end of each round.
