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!

On this day in history, one small step for man was made onto the moon! On this 57th anniversary of the moon landing, we celebrate the achievements of NASA, the team in Apollo 11 as well as the team back at ground control for the advances made in the space race. #historybee #sciencebee #thisdateinhistory
This just in from Puerto Rico!!🇵🇷 

The Secretary of Education, Eliezer Ramos Parés, presented scholarships to students from the Social Studies Program in recognition of their outstanding performance in important academic skills.🥇

Five students from the University Gardens School received a $500 check each for their participation in the Puerto Rico History Bee and Bowl competition, a competition that evaluates knowledge in history, geography, political science, natural sciences, and humanities. The awarded students are:

• Julián Caldero Rivera
• Víctor Román Saldaña
• Emmanuel Vizcaya Torres
• Karlos Fernández Lozada
• Adiel Torres Resto
Congrats to these competitors and their advisor, Inez B. Velez!
And thanks to @normanjaf for the news tip! 

Puerto Rico will have two tournaments this season, one for History Bee and Bowl AND one for Science, Geography and History. @doradoacademypr is an amazing host for our SGH event and we cannot wait to see who shines this season!

Photos rolling in of friends being made at meals and talks led by Mr Madden himself!
Keep submitting those photos and tell us why you love competing with us! Email them to Kiersten@iacompetitions.com and tell us your story! We’ll put them on social media and on the IGC website!
These photos coming in from both the Post tour trip and from competitors showing off their winnings from IGC are rolling in! Between dancing with monkeys, staffers showing respect in temples and more, Thailand and Cambodia are proving to be the place for fun if you love Geography!
If you have photos you want posted from IGC Thailand, email them to kiersten@iacompetitions.com and we will share them throughout the week!

From Mary Vattavayalil:
“It’s a family affair now for the Joseph family. The youngest, Nivedh Joseph, was the first to participate in an IAC competition. Navika Joseph was soon drawn to the exciting world of quizzing. Parents Dilip Joseph and Mary Vattavayalil made their successful debut at IAC events this year. 
Can’t think of any other academic competition where this is possible.  Thanks IAC!”

“together, we share one working larynx.”

Probably the most recognizable (and certainly the loudest!) group of people in the Geography Championships, the “Wemby Gang” seem to never run out of energy to give, chants to shout, and points to score. Having met at EMS Nats in May, the gang, all students of Coach Bodha and devotees of the NBA runner-up (writer’s note: knicks in five.), came into IGC as good friends and study buddies already, and seem to have only gotten closer. Stay tuned for our full interview with them, and keep eyes on them as they keep growing to be forces to be reckoned with for the rest of their careers!

Between flying monkeys, buzzer competitions, and simulations with surprise visitors, it looks like day 7 of the International Geography Championships has been an adventure for all! 
(No worries, the props are all safe!)

From Press Corps member Ronav Ahuja: “The Air Hockey table near the deli has caused quite the uproar! It’s great to see some spirit off the buzzer!”
