National Geographic Bee – Arizona state level competition

2017 Arizona Geographic Bee is scheduled to take place in the ASU Memorial Union on Friday, March 31.

Opening at 8:00 am, participants and their families can wait in the Ventana Room before the preliminary rounds start at 9:00 am.  Participants should go to their room a little before 9 am.

AzGA will be hosting a “Kids on the Map” activity between the preliminary rounds and the final round in the Ventana room (about 10:30 am).  This is a giant floor map – 17′ x 20′ — with guided activities.  Please wear socks if you plan to walk on the map – no bare feet – and all ages are encouraged to join in the activities.

After the Bee at about 1:00 pm, the ASU School of Geographical Sciences & Urban Planning will be once more hosting a reception on the 5th floor of the Coor building for Bee participants and their families and teachers. There will be cookies and soft drinks, games, a selfie photo booth with silly hats, and a chance to learn about geography and planning as a career.  Hope to see you there!
