National Geographic Live Student Presentations

Through the power of visual and oral storytelling, National Geographic Live illuminates the wonders of our world, connects it to our everyday lives, and inspires us to protect it.

These 60-minute student presentation takes place on the stunning Jack Singer Concert Hall stage, followed by an open Q&A where students can ask their burning questions and engage directly with intrepid Explorers. For many of our young audience members, these experiences are life-changing, inspiring them to dive deeper into our natural world and do more to keep our planet in balance.
