CHBS Geography Bee
|
|
The National Geographic Bee is a program of the National Geographic Society. It is a nationwide contest for middle school students from schools in the United States. With a first prize of a $25,000 college scholarship - plus other prizes - the Bee is designed to encourage the teaching and study of geography.
There are three levels of competition: school, state, and national. To compete for advancement from the school to the state level, the winning student in each school must take the written, multiple-choice Qualifying Test. As many as a hundred of the highest-scoring students in a state or territory advance to the state level. The first place winner from the state Bee advances to the national level.
