The African American Male Academic Bowl "Aiming for the Stars" Competition originated
as a joint venture between Dimension U, Comets, Project
Still I Rise, Inc. and the University of Texas at Dallas
and other community partners to engage African American boys in an all-out, dynamic academic competition.
Since its inception, this annual event has included hundreds of participating boys that not only represent North Texas middle schools, but also numerous local community groups, faith-based organizations, and greek-lettered auxiliary young groups. With the support and partnerships of local businesses, each year our academic champions and their team coaches are awarded featured prizes.
This year's "Aiming for the Stars" Competition will offer young men from 6th to 8th grade the opportunity to compete in a team-based competition. The teams will earn collective points by participating in the following competition components - jeopardy-style academic quiz bowl, MathCounts™.
Each competition component is outlined thoroughly in information packet sent electronically all to participants. the packet will model a scoring rubrics to our registered teams and coaches.
Due to the overwhelming number or team registrations, we are no longer accepting team entries for the upcoming competition on
February 26
