What is the NewzBrain Challenge?
The NewzBrain Challenge is a monthly current events contest between teams
from schools throughout the United States. The contest is open to grades three and
up. The NewzBrain Challenge is a 50-question multiple choice test adding up to 1,000 points per contest. The questions cover current
events from the month being studied. You choose your contest day, during the last
week of that month. The NewzBrain Challenge takes place in your school.
The NewzBrain Monthly Challenge has been developed to give HAL or sometimes known as GATE classrooms the opportunity to compete in a national challenge
that inspires high ability students to do independent research with the goal of becoming more aware of events around the nation and the world.
