We teach kids about the world and how it works, empowering them to succeed and to make it a better place.
Description of Education Initiatives: National Geographic Explorers, photographers, filmmakers, and scientists embody the importance of living curious, responsible, and empowered lives. National Geographic is proud to present these inspiring role models through our student matinee programs at our headquarters in Washington, D.C. Matinee presentations are approximately one hour long and include a short question and answer session with the speaker after their talk. Groups can also choose to stay on campus after and visit the National Geographic museum. Come explore with us! For more information, visit their education page.

Fun Fact! For 130 years, the National Geographic Society has funded groundbreaking scientists and explorers and shared their findings with the world. We sponsored Hiram Bingham as he brought back stories from Machu Picchu, documented Robert Ballard’s quest to find the Titanic, and supported Jane Goodall’s study of chimpanzee behavior. Our education programs give teachers the tools they need to engage students of all ages, reveal our interconnected world, and inspire new generations of responsible citizens, explorers, and changemakers.
