Alaska students will compete in the National Geographic state-level Bee Friday, April 4 at the Egan Center in Anchorage. One hundred fourth through eighth graders from schools across the state will participate. The contestants each won their school’s bee and passed a qualifying test.
Students are quizzed not just on geographic locations but must also be familiar with the inter-connectedness of geography, current events and map terminology.
