Andrew Probst, an 8th grade student, won first place, with Tyler Petersen, also an 8th grade student, winning second place in the National Geographic Geobee.
The National Geographic GeoBee is a geography competition designed to inspire and reward students’ curiosity about the world. Questions cover not only geography, but also cultures, physical features, history and earth science.
The National Geographic Society developed the GeoBee in 1989 in response to concern about the lack of geographic knowledge among young people in the United States. Over more than three decades, 120 million students have learned about the world through participation in the GeoBee.
In addition to the GeoBee, National Geographic also offers classroom resources, student experiences and professional development opportunities for educators.
