National Geography Awareness Week, initiated in 1987 by the National Geographic Society's Geography Education Program, is an annual celebration to promote geographic literacy. It occurs every November. In celebration, the National Air and Space Museum holds public programs and demonstrations. In the Geography From Space contest, contestants can enjoy identifying geographic places and features on satellite imagery from across the globe. The contest is also available online from Sunday, November 15 through Saturday, November 21, at the link below. Another contest, GEOGAMES, is a lively geography quiz that will be held on the 19th and 20th at 11 a.m. One prize will be awarded each day. See the link below for more activities. |
