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
