Gifted teachers! Are you looking for exciting enrichment opportunities for your bright young scholars? We’ve got just the programs for you! Our National History Bee, National Geography Bee and National Science Bee are great programs for kids who need a positive outlet for their competitive energy! Instead of racing to the answer in the classroom, they can race to the buzzer to win titles at the regional, national and even in international competitions! To learn more about how to get started, email our Outreach team at outreach@iacompetitions.com to get the information on what we offer, how we can help you get started, and more! #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee #giftedteachers #giftedstudents

School is starting in parts of the country right now! It’s hard to believe that summer has been flying by, with summer break still lasting another month in the Northeast while their Southern counterparts are opening their doors! Well, rest assured, our Outreach team is ready to help schools get started whenever their school year begins! We have the ORQE and study resources available now for teachers to administer in their digital classrooms, and the meetings explaining how regionals work begin again on August 13th! If you are a new parent or teacher wanting to learn more about how regional competitions are formatted and how the day goes, send an email to outreach@iacompetitions.com and we will send you an invite to the Zoom meeting. 7:30 pm Eastern on a rotating basis for the season, there will be a meeting, so if you cannot attend on August 13th, there will be more! #backtoschool #historybee #historybowl #geographybee #sciencebee

High School competitors! As you know, you can compete in our online regional competitions for Science, Geography and History Bees, but did you know that you now need to take the online regional qualifying exams to do so like the middle and elementary school students? We get it, you guys are busy high school students, and likely have a large course load being the bright kids you are. To make this easier for you all, the ORQEs are available now! If you don’t have a coach sponsor or parent sponsor, we have a sponsor account you can link to, outreach@iacompetitions.com, and you’ll get your scores right away. It’s a simple, 20 minute, multiple choice exam that you can take anywhere, just like the ones you took in the middle and elementary divisions, so you know the drill already if you have been playing for a while. Visit orqe.iac-exams.com and take your exams today to get ready for the competition season! Get in that extra buzzer practice this season online so you are ready for Nationals! #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee
It’s almost time for a team USA to head to the iGeo competition, but they need your help! So far, they have raised some money to off set costs but need some help to get them to meet their $4000 goal! If you can help, visit https://gofund.me/c30245733 and make a donation today. Every bit helps! #igeo #geography #teamusa
