The Rancho Quiz team, comprised of Tejus Karadi, Stavya Dangaria, Shreya Ram, Parth Baheti and Purab Patel, qualified for the 2025 Middle School National Championship Tournament (MSNCT) Quiz Bowl Nationals, which will take place May 9-11 in Chicago, IL.
The team's qualification came through impressive performances in various tournaments organized by Texas Quiz Bowl Alliance (TQBA) held between October 2024 and January 2025, where they secured 2nd and 3rd place finishes. The MSNCT is NAQT's premier middle school event, featuring 160 of the top quiz bowl teams from across the United States. In addition to their quiz bowl success, the team participated in the Science Bowl regional tournament hosted by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in Palo Alto. The U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored event provided the students with a unique opportunity to not only compete exclusively in science but also to tour SLAC, an active research facility, offering valuable exposure to cutting-edge scientific research. Five Milpitas Unified School District teams representing Curtner, Burnett and Sinnott Elementary Schools, as well as Russell Middle School and Milpitas High School, advanced to the World Finals of a creative, problem-solving competition known as Odyssey of the Mind.
The competition teaches students how to develop and use their natural creativity to become problem-solvers. Teams are faced with a problem that requires an original solution. Students apply what they learn in the classroom and combine it with their interests and passions to solve unique open-ended problems. Sixteen MUSD teams participated in the Odyssey of the Mind Qualifying Tournament, including five student teams that qualified for the Odyssey of the Mind World Finals at Michigan State University from May 21-24, representing Northern California on the world stage. Those teams are:
