Fun Fact Friday takes us to Korea, where on this date in 1446 is when the Hangul alphabet was first published by King Sejong the Great. This alphabet made literacy possible in Korea, as before this point in time, all written language in Korea was ancient Chinese characters. Hangul letters were designed to be graphically simple, and traditionally consisted of only straight lines, dots, and circles. The shapes of five basic consonants are based on those of human speech organs. Seoul is hosting a fall event for History Bee and Bowl at Dulwich College using the Gamma Set!

The registration deadline for the first National History Bee and Bowl competition, scheduled for Chicagoland at Loyola Academy is coming up fast! If you plan on playing the C Set there, the initial registration deadline is tomorrow at 11:59pm! To find a site near you, visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/registration/#vjv to register for your local competitions, and remember, you can play in one C Set, one B Set, and one A set event, so you can play in up to three bee/bowl events to get as much buzzer practice as possible. #historybee #historybowl #doyouwanttoplaysomequizbowl
A reminder that tomorrow is our regional informational meeting for newly qualified competitors! On October 8th, 7:30pm Eastern time, you can join parents and players like yourselves and our Outreach team will walk you through how regionals work.

Team Tuesday seems like the perfect day to celebrate National Coaches Day! IAC loves and respects the coaches and teacher leaders who help their student competitors shine at competitions. Players, we want to hear from you. What makes your coach so awesome? Tell us about them in the comments below, and one coach mentioned in the comments will be selected at random to win a Starbucks gift card as a special thank you for being there for their team! If you are looking for a coach for hire to prepare for competitions, visit our resources page at https://www.iacompetitions.com/resources/coaches-for-hire/ for a list of coaches offering their services! #giveaway #nationalcoachesday #quizbowl #teamtuesday
Materials Monday: Pulling from the Red Set Study guides for science, let’s talk about chemistry! Have you ever wondered why gold is in such high demand for currency and jewelry? Turns out it’s because it’s highly resistant to corrosion and is very malleable, meaning it’s easy to shape into blocks or into delicate shapes for jewelry. For more fun facts for Science Bee, visit our study guides page at https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/ for the Red Set and the C sets! As the season progresses, more study guides will become available. #studyguides #historybee #historybowl #geographybee #sciencebee
Fun Fact Friday is pulling no punches this week. Did you know that on this date in 1906, the Canadian world heavyweight boxing champion Tommy Burns knocked out American challenger “Fireman” Jim Flynn in fifteen rounds to retain his title? Canada is well known for having a competitive spirit, with strong players coming to our international events from the Great White North! Our season in Canada for in-person events starts a bit later than in the US, but Canadian players can play in the US online regional competitions starting on October 24th. If you are one of our Canadian players who wants to get a start competing now, visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/registration/ to register for one of the Science/Geography/History events. #canada #sciencebee #geographybee #historybee #quizbowl

Materials Monday: In our study guides, we’ve divided things up in each subject. While we will still continue to put topics being covered, we are also including 30 terms for further study. These can include people, places and things to know, as well as the links to look into them online. Note that dates of people’s lives are mainly provided for reference, so if the dates listed on the sheet are in parentheses, they don’t need to be memorized. To get our study guides, visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/ for the Red Set and the C sets! #studyguides #historybee #historybowl #geographybee #sciencebee
Fun Fact Friday: Most know that the interstate highway system in the US was established under the Eisenhower administration as a network of roads across the United States, but did you know that the numbering system can tell you where in the country the highways are and the direction they go? Odd numbered highways run north/south with the numbers starting on the West Coast, while even numbered highways are east/west, with the numbers starting in the South. The higher the number, the further north or east the highway is; for example, Interstate 5 is on the West Coast, and intersects with Interstate 10 in California and Interstate 90 in Seattle, WA. For more fun facts like this, check out the book North American Maps for Curious Minds: 100 New Ways to See the Continent, one of the many resource books we have listed on our resources page, https://www.iacompetitions.com/resources/, under the Recommended Books! #geographybee #historybee #studyguides #resourcespage
