Hope for the Future

Three teams compete in the finals: Ashley, Rodrigo, and Shivani of "The Dork Side" will face Treasure, Sebastian, and Apoorva of "The Fast and the Curious," along with Michi, Jackson, and Ugochi of "Geeks on Fleek." In the Human GPS round, finalists memorize the constellations. One team is eliminated and two will face off for Extreme Number Cruncher and then a complex Talking Dictionary. Ultimately, the teams take on the toughest Cortex ever and the team that gets the farthest or completes "The Cortex" in the fastest time is crowned "Genius Junior" champion.
