March and April are the months when trivia contests are held based on the material in the U.S. Consulate monthly publication Zoom in on America (www.usinfo.pl/zoom). This year’s contests were organized at the America@YourLibrary in Kielce, The John Paul II High School in Niepołomice, the American Corner in Wroclaw, the Jan Heweliusz High School in Legnica, and the Julian Tuwim Schools in Bielsko-Biała. Contests participants were students from senior and junior high schools from these cities and regions.
School representatives were teams of three students working together to answer a number of questions based on the materials from the past issues of Zoom. The contestants were extremely well prepared and enjoyed the events, which provided an opportunity to show off their knowledge of the United States.
