Who Needs a Google Map When You've Got Tuvya Bergson-Michelson?
The San Carlos 12-year-old recently won his SECOND California Geographic Bee.

He's only in sixth grade, yet he's already won two statewide competitions that require him to know, for instance, not just where Brazil is on the globe, but what products it exports, and so much more.
After winning the California Geographic Bee on Friday, San Carlos resident Tuvya Bergson-Michelson will represent California at the national bee on May 22 in Washington, D.C.
According to a post on the City of San Carlos's Facebook page, Friday's event was Tuvya's third time in the state championship, held annually for 25 years at Cosumnes River College in Sacramento. He won two years ago.

Tuvya competed against 104 other students from fourth through eight grades in the grueling five hour contest. Eight of the 10 finalists were from the Bay Area.
"I do this for fun because I'm intrigued by politics and international relations," the stunned 12-year-old told the San Jose Mercury News after his second win.
