The National Geographic Bee is a US competition designed to inspire students to be curious about the world. Registration is open to schools with students in grades four through eight. Each year, thousands of schools in the United States participate. School champions take a qualifying test, which gets submitted to the National Geographic Society. Up to 100 of the top-scoring students in each of the 50 states, District of Columbia, Department of Defense Dependents Schools and U.S. territories compete in the state Bees. Check back in future editions of Ebytes to see how Nicolas fares.
