i’m Brain Bee is the premier neuroscience competition for teenagers that tests their knowledge of the nervous system. The mission of Brain Bee is to motivate students to learn about brains and to inspire them to pursue careers in neuroscience.
The competition, which operates in over 70 regional and 30 national locations, starts at the local level, which is typically from January to March in the U.S.. Each local competition sends their winner to the National level to compete with the other finalists for the championship spot, typically in April. The winners of the National level then have the opportunity to represent their country at the International Brain Bee.
Students are tested on all areas of neuroscience, including brain functions like sensation, movement, intelligence, and consciousness, research techniques, patient diagnosis skills, histopathological analysis and neuroanatomical identification. Most local competitions are formatted as a written test, an oral test, or both. Higher levels are more advanced with labs and mock patients.
