National Geographic CHASING GENIUS

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS

The CHASING GENIUS community gave hundreds of game-changing ideas around the issues of global health, world hunger, and environmental sustainability.

To select a winner in each issue category, the Genius Council reviewed the finalists' ideas and scored them based on creativity, innovation, viability, and inspiration. Then, the CHASING GENIUS community selected the idea they thought was best for the People's Choice winner. 

Have you watched the winning ideas?
