International Academic Competitions

United States Division

Presenting Quiz Competitions in History, Science, and Geography for Elementary, Middle & High School Students Across the USA!

Giving Tuesday is here!

Alice’s Kids helps students in economically disadvantaged kids be able to participate in extracurricular activities, like quiz bowl!

We have had a few students who have been able to play thanks to Alice’s Kids, and they are a wonderful organization who help kids in any way they can. Whether it be registration fees for the tournaments, or if a kid needs help getting shoes for sports, they are there to help.

To Help them, check out aliceskids.org

So it's Black Friday, and as a former retail worker I do not step out of my house to shop. Instead, I decorate my fireplace and mantle. Followers know I am a huge Starbucks fan, and for the most part, the small trees on either side of the fireplace are covered in Starbucks Christmas ornaments (as one can clearly see in the photo!) from the places I have been, and my kids each get one ornament a year for their stash and get to put it on their trees, but one ornament is different. The one in the photo is what I want you to identify!

For a chance to win a Starbucks gift card and a Tervis Tumbler, WHO is this person as an ornament? Comment in the replies below, and like the post for an extra boost!

And for an extra entry....why is this person so important to International Academic Competitions?

Happy Thanksgiving break from all of us at IAC!

Contest Ends November 27th, 2023 at 5pm Eastern time. Open to US and Canadian followers only.

So those parents and students looking for the study guides for the White Question set for EMS, look no further! They are available now on our resources page, https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/

Please note, these study guides are merely that: A guide! Questions for the preliminary rounds will be pulled from these facts, and while students can usually figure out the answer by the end of the question, they should take advantage of the hyperlinks in the guides to dig deeper so they can possibly buzz in faster!

Good luck!

Fundraiser Fridays are all about the Fun!

Also known as a Lock in, schools hold the chance to have a sleepover in the school for students. They come eat pizza, explore the school at night, play games in the gym, and sleep either in the gym or in classrooms by groups of grade and gender. Parents can volunteer to monitor a room, help run games and activities, and you can even set up a room with buzzers to play trivia games!

With enough letter writing, you can even convince pizza places to donate pizzas, franchises to donate breakfast goods, and overall create fun and memories for all the kids.

I mean, who didn't want to sneak into their school after hours to see what it was like at night?

From our Red Geography Set, it's Trivia Tuesday!

Did you know....

Vancouver Island in British Columbia contains the capital of the province, Victoria, but does not contain the province’s largest city, Vancouver, which is the main Pacific port of Canada.

Vancouver also has one of our higher concentrations of Canadian players!

This Trivia Tuesday pulls from the recently published White Set for EMS!

The Vietnam War lasted from 1955 to April 1975, when Saigon was finally captured by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces.

With Veteran’s Day coming this weekend, we want to say a thank you to all those who served, past and present.
