Nat Geo Mundo Explorer Competition Grants Four High School Students a Summer of Science, Travel and Photography

The Nat Geo Mundo Explorer competition, a joint effort between DIRECTV and 21st Century Fox's Nat Geo Mundo channel, launched in January as a way to expand opportunities for young people to participate in National Geographic Student Expeditions. The program matches student groups with a National Geographic Explorer, who then guides the students through original research and photography projects at one of more than 40 locations across the globe. Nat Geo Mundo Explorer offered full scholarships to the Student Expeditions program and allowed the winners to select any of the available trips.

Approximately one in every three mouthfuls of food in our diet is either directly or indirectly impacted by honey bees.
