MCAS week 2 competition kicks off with civic quiz questions

The Chelsea City government meeting on April 5, 2025, focused on the upcoming Chamber National Civics Bee Competition. The event aims to engage students in civic education through a structured quiz format.

During the meeting, officials outlined the competition's rules and structure. The competition will consist of three rounds, with finalists answering civic-based quiz questions. Each participant will respond to the same multiple-choice questions, which will be read aloud. A 30-second timer will begin after the question is fully presented, and participants must submit their answers before time runs out. Correct answers will earn one point, while incorrect answers or those not submitted in time will receive zero points. Importantly, participants will not lose points for incorrect responses, encouraging them to guess if unsure.

Officials also reminded students to refrain from using personal devices, such as cell phones and smartwatches, during the competition. This rule aims to maintain focus and integrity throughout the event.

The meeting highlighted the importance of civic education and the role of competitions like the Civics Bee in fostering knowledge and engagement among young citizens. As the event approaches, students are encouraged to prepare and participate actively in this educational opportunity.
