regional partners give students in their communities the chance to compete in the Bee!
The Bee program begins with millions of students in schools across the country. Our Regional Partners provide these students with the pathway to compete, from the classroom level all the way to the National Competition. They play a large role in our mission of illuminating pathways to lifelong curiosity, celebrating academic achievement and enriching communities.
