The public is invited to the inaugural Missouri Civics Bee August 6, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. sponsored and organized by MU Kinder Institute on Constitutional Democracy and present by Google in partnership with the Missouri Chamber of Commerce and the State Historical Society of Missouri.
The 2025 middle school finalists from Grain Valley North, Harrisonville, Raymore-Peculiar East, and Ladue will compete at the Missouri Civics Bee state contest with the winner advancing to the National Civics Bee in Washington, DC, on November 10-11.
The Civics Bee is a project of the US Chamber of Commer Foundation's Civic Trust, which promotes a broad range of efforts aimed at improving understanding of and involvement in American civic life. As part of this larger project, a host of Chambers of Commerce across Missouri held local Civics Bees in the lead-up to the Aug. 6 contest.
The event is free and open to the public. Please register if you'd like to attend. A complimentary lunch is provided.
