From our friends at National Geographic Live...
This summer, National Geographic is hosting a series of Greek themed events in honor of our new exhibit, The Greeks - Agamemnon to Alexander the Great. National Geographic is hosting “The Geeks” event next week to celebrate the ancient Greeks' discoveries in science, math and history. This event will feature food, happy hour, and stories from six National Geographic Young Explorers fresh from the field. Here are all of the details:
Meet The Geeks!
