Nationwide hunt for best young brain

NEW DELHI: To hunt for the best young brain in the country, National Geographic Channel in association with Aviva Life Insurance has launched a school engagement programme.

“Aviva Young Scholar Nat Geo Junior Hunt” is looking for someone who is articulate, curious, smart and aware -- in short, a complete all-rounder. It is a unique school engagement programme to stimulate inquisitive young minds to learn more about the world they live in, while enjoying the complete experience.

Talking about the initiative, cricket star Sachin Tendulkar, who is Aviva’s brand ambassador, says the initiative offers an opportunity to children to hone their skills, test their awareness levels and realise their true potential: “Participants will not only learn more but will also get a chance to win four national and 20 city scholarships.”

Nat Geo Junior Hunt reaches out to over 400 reputed schools targeting children aged between 10 and 14 years across various cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Chennai.

The selection process for this nationwide hunt provides a rigorous training ground for children, starting with the innovative “Think again” tests which will be conducted across schools in the country. The tests will be followed by scientifically designed rounds including games, puzzles, debates, thinking out-of-the-box challenges, besides an adventure camp and grooming sessions.

There are four national and 20 city scholarships to be won. The winner will also get to host the Nat Geo Junior show for three-months on the National Geographic Channel, along with a bouquet of prizes from other partners associated with the hunt.

Children can also log on to www.natgeo.yahoo .in to take the “Think again” test to learn more about the Nat Geo Junior Hunt.
