CALLING ALL HISTORY BUFFS, SCIENCE GEEKS & ENVIRONMENTAL EINSTEINS!

The Brainiac Bowl is a lively science, history, culture, and pop trivia contest in which teams match wits against each other and raise funds for environmental education programs for students of all ages at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center. Although there is passionate competition, trivia questions are varied on topic and level of difficulty so no one has to be a true “brainiac” to participate.

This is a great chance for families to spend some quality time together as a mean, lean, competing machine. Or, companies, reward your hard working employees and yourself—while engaging in some fun leadership and team building skills, plus it is a great way to beat the late winter doldrums, build employee morale and network with Madison’s movers and shakers! We have some great teams already signed up, including: Hausmann-Johnson Insurance, Neider & Boucher, Fine Point Consulting, WPS Health Solutions, and a couple teams of individuals, just to name a few.

The-Heavy-Metals-1-300x200Please let us know if we can count your team as one to be reckoned with in 2017. Plus, if you recruit another team– from your company, another company and/or family and friends— and receive a complimentary gift certificate to our beautiful Black Earth Campus for a weekday/night retreat (a $400 value). Come for the comradery and compete to take home the championship “pulsating” Brain trophy.

Recruiting another team is easy. Just click here to send an e-invite to your business friends, company rivals and/or family and taunt them to take the Brainiac Bowl challenge with you. If you are too chicken to participate, we would appreciate it if you would forward this link to anyone you think might enjoy a little intellectual jousting.

  • A delicious dinner, catered by Pasqual’s, decadent dessert, and cash bar
