What Is the National Civics Bee®?
The National Civics Bee® encourages students in grades 6–8 to explore civic life, strengthen their civic knowledge and share ideas for improving their communities. Modeled after traditional academic competitions, the Bee combines civics questions with student presentations focused on real-world challenges.
