If you haven’t heard yet. I have qualified for the state round of the 2012 National Geographic Bee. It will take place on March 30th in Charlotte, NC. I am not sure how the competition will work, but I have an idea of how it might. Since there are 100 qualifiers there, my guess would be that they put ten kids in a room and the winner of each of the 10 rooms move on to the final round consisting of 10 people. The State winner  will be rewarded with a trip to Washington D.C and $ 250 in spending money. The National Competition will be televised live on the National Geographic Network. If you want to know what some questions are like, take the daily challenge at www this is what I practice on and will use to study. I should be on the leaderboard for two days ago quiz with 10,000 but that was only after I had seen the questions a few times. Time matters in the game so that means my time was fast enough that they didn’t take points off. I hope I do well in Charlotte. Hope to see me on TV later this year. There happen to be two sixth grade winners in the history of the bee. One winning the school, state and national bee on his first try in the geo bee. (Like me!) A sixth grader won North Carolina last year from Winston-Salem. I’ve seen the winning the national bee winning questions and I can’t answer any of them :(. Oh well. I hope to place in the top 10 but that is setting the bar high. I hope to do well in Charlotte!
