Week 15 of WGBY’s As Schools Match Wits - February 12, 2008
Springfield High School of Science and Technology of Springfield, MA, will meet Taconic High School of Pittsfield, MA, in week 15 of WGBY’s As Schools Match Wits Saturday, February 16 at 7 p.m.
Area writer, teacher, critic, and radio personality Chris Rohmann hosts.
One of the country’s longest running academic quiz shows, As Schools Match Wits enters its 47th season with a roster of 48 high schools from across western New England. The top eight highest scoring teams at the end of the season will go to the finals and compete for the championship. The latest standings, broadcast schedule and video podcasts of each episode are available at www.wgby.org/asmw.
The show’s format features area high schools competing in teams of four students each, plus an alternate. In classic quiz show style, the teams buzz in to answer questions based on school curriculum. The school getting the most points for correct answers wins.
Sponsored by Berkshire Bank and Big Y Supermarkets, and now produced at the studios of Westfield State College and broadcast on WGBY, As Schools Match Wits delivers all of the fun of the classic high school quiz-show and introduces a new generation of high-school students to one of the few public competitions that stresses knowledge over physical ability.
WGBY (www.wgby.org), a community supported public broadcasting organization, connects the people of western New England to events, ideas and each other through national PBS programming and locally produced series and specials. With an additional four digital television channels, video on demand, podcasting and streaming video, WGBY is one of the region’s most accessible community institutions, providing lifelong learning opportunities for all. |
