Today’s focus is Model UN: If your child is in grades 4-8 and interested in international relations, we have in-person and online options available for regional level competition! Students who are strong in geopolitical studies, debate, or just love lively discussion, would thrive in our Model UN programs. Visit https://www.iacompetitions.com/modelun/ to learn more and find a site near you! #modelun #regionals #debate #geopoliticalstudies
Materials Monday: Today we are pulling fun facts from the released study guides for the Red Set, with Geography Bee featuring our fact of the week. Did you know that tectonic plate movement beneath California is gradually bringing Los Angeles and San Francisco closer together? You can find this information and more on the Red Set Study Guide, found at https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/! For History Bee and Bowl players, the C Set study guides are now available too! And if you are one of our California players, visit our registration page at https://www.iacompetitions.com/registration/, which has many regional competition options for players of all kinds, including Model UN, Mathematics Bee Regionals, and Academic Bee and Bowl. #historybee #geographybee #sciencebee #modelUN #mathbee
Let’s wish our co-Executive Director Nolwenn Madden a very happy birthday!!!! 🎊🎁🎂🎈🎉 #birthday #celebrate
Fun Fact Friday: Did you know that on this date in 1793, George Washington laid the cornerstone of the Capitol Building in Washington DC? You can see that and more if you attend the Varsity and Junior Varsity National Championships, taking place April 22nd-25th, 2027! Our Arlington, VA location is conveniently located so that, during down times, teams can travel via the Metro to the Capitol Building and to many other historic sites and museums. #nationalchampionships #historybee #historybowl

Trivia Tuesday: did you know that on this day in 1835, the HMS Beagle with Charles Darwin on board, reached the Galapagos Islands? Darwin’s work is legendary, but almost as legendary is Harriet, a Galapagos Turtle who was noted to have lived during that timeframe and later passed away at a whopping 176 years of age in 2006. Each island in the Galapagos had their own subspecies at one point, but many are now extinct. Conservationists are doing their best to keep what few species are alive around, as the observations of said turtles are the foundations of the theory of evolution. Knowing about the Galapagos could come in handy if you are playing in a Red Set event! Make sure you check out the study guide pages at https://www.iacompetitions.com/study-guides/. #studyguides #sciencebee #geographybee #historybee

Today marks the 25th anniversary of when the world changed forever. Because everyone has their own story to tell about that day, we thought we would approach this a little differently with a question to think about. How do you commemorate 9/11? We understand some people light Yahrzeit candles, some visit the memorials in NYC, DC or Pennsylvania, and others take some time to reflect on those they may have lost on the planes, at the Pentagon, or in the Twin Towers. Let us know in the comments how you mark this day. #9/11 #thedaytheworldstoodstill #history
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
