Brain bees are grassroots, Q&A competitions for secondary school students to encourage them to learn more about the brain and pursue careers in biomedical research.
Leading a brain bee is an impactful way for neuroscientists to get involved in outreach and work with schools and students to expand their interest in neuroscience.
The International Brain Bee organization oversees all national brain bees. Each national brain bee then oversees the local bees in their area.
Anyone is eligible to sponsor a competition. Register your competition so your winner is eligible for national and international brain bees.
After registering, follow these recommended steps to ensure your bee is successful.
Remember, each local bee can have a unique setup and methods, so these are merely suggestions. Work with your national coordinator to determine if there are any specific requirements for bees in your area.
