Hey geograpeeps
So as you know summer is almost over and that means the school year is about to begin now earlier this year
I was invited to speak to the cool kids at Centennial High School in Corona
California however after that I kind of figured, why don't I go and visit more schools?
However,I don't want to just visit and say hi
I want to do some more so I want to hold a
Geography Bee at your school in which one student
Representing your hometown will win. If you are a teacher or a school admin staff member
Or if you are a student and your classes have watched Geography Now
Then pay attention because these are the details on how you enter the contest.First of all, I will select five schools in North
America I did the map and unfortunately I only have the budget within Patreon money to travel to areas within my continent
It's a little too expensive for me and my team to travel to Europe or Asia or other places, so for now
We will have to start off local and then, who knows? Maybe next year if this thing becomes a success
Maybe we can go even further.However if you don't live in North America. There is a way you can help
I'll explain in a little bit.First of all I will be doing this after the heritage trips, so November
And maybe December is when most of this is going to happen that means you have a few months to study.And like mentioned before
At least one of these schools has to be in Canada. I promise you guys
I would have come for your 150th anniversary here
So Canada you're at least locked in for sure.These schools can be anywhere from elementary to university
It doesn't matter now the first thing you have to get permission from your school's administration
To allow me to come in for an event
I can't come if your school says no. Second, if your school is selected
I will be asking Geography questions about your local area first and then questions pertaining to the world
French
Spanish
So how do you apply? Simple! Kind of, I would like you to make a geography now video about your home area.
Share everything you think needs to be known about your hometown or state or province. You don't have to do the entire country though.
That's my job. What are the people like where you live what the landscape? What are the resources? What is the economy driven off?
Oh, you don't have to have the best video quality (144p is OK!)
But you do have to have one of the best five videos.Here are some tips, have a good attitude be informative yet pleasant on
Camera don't try to advocate any side of a politically divisive issue.
You have to remain as plain and objective in your script, make us laugh
But don't try too hard to be funny make very insightful thought-provoking jokes
I want to see how cool you guys can be with your own personalities now.
Here's the thing, if you don't live in North America
You can help me decide which schools to select I will be posting the submission videos on many of the social media sites Instagram, Facebook
Twitter, and you guys, the non North American geograpeeps can give me your input.
I will be reading a lot of the comments that you guys write down
I will be selecting the host schools in the first week of September, that means you guys got a little bit of time to prepare.
Also It gives me time to plan a way to travel to you.Once you are done with your video send in a link to Geography
later at gmail.com
Under the title of geography Bee
2017 with the name of your location.And from there the selection process will begin. Hope you guys have fun
Let's make geography cool again!
Shall we? I look forward to seeing your submissions and hopefully seeing you in November of 2017 have a good one, stay cool, stay tuned
