Hands-On Explorer Challenge

Hi HOEC fans,

We’re sorry to report that there won’t be a 2013 Hands-On Explorer Challenge.

2013 is National Geographic’s 125th anniversary, so we’ll have lots of other fun projects and programs coming your way.

If you’re in 9th – 12th grade, you still have time to enter the student photo contest to win a prize to National Geographic Student Expedition London Photography Workshop. Otherwise, keep us posted about all your adventures by posting your pictures on My Shot.

Keep an eye on this space for announcements, contests, records, and ways you can help save animals and explore our planet!

Keep exploring!

I would’ve loved to be on the Hands On Explorer crew and visit places around the world. Too bad there would be no 2013 Hands On Explorer Challenge

They won’t publish my last few comments, so, here it is again. In a shorter paragraph.

Next year I will be too old to do the Hands-On Explorer Challenge. Because you did actually tell us there would be one this year, it is only fair to extend the age limit next year so that 15 year-olds can enter. In 2010, there was no contest, so in 2011 they let 15 year-olds enter. So please do it again, NGK!
