Junior hunt
National Geographic Channel has announced its latest India-based initiative "Nat Geo Junior Hunt". This school challenge is a quest to find India's superkid — a "Nat Geo Junior" who is curious, adventurous, articulate, energetic and smart. The Nat Geo Junior Hunt is the channel's endeavour to extend its popular children's block on-ground to provide an intelligent platform for kids to showcase their talent through a fun-filled, learning experience.
Launched last year, Nat Geo Junior is a multi-faceted programming block for kids on National Geographic Channel. The Junior Hunt will span 10 cities, 380 schools and will target children between the ages of 10 and 14 years.
The selection process for this contest will begin at the school level where participants will be short listed through an innovative "Think again" test. This test will comprise questions that will examine general aptitude and logical reasoning. Following the school selection, 20 city finalists will be selected based on selection rounds designed by iDiscoveri Education (the education partner of Nat Geo Junior), which include games, puzzles, physical activities and thinking out of the box challenges. These finalists will then have an opportunity to participate in individual and group challenges in the setting of Youreka (iDiscoveri's outdoor division) Sitlaket campus and only four out of these 20 city finalists will make it to the national finals. The lucky four will be groomed before they host their own show on Nat Geo Junior following which the winner will be decided by a panel of judges. The rigorous selection process will result in the winner being crowned the prestigious title of "Nat Geo Junior".
