- What determines intelligence?
- How your brains are different from computers?
- How your brains create emotions?
- How eyes see and ears hear?
- Why pain exists?
- How male and female brains differ?
- How scientists can see and hear changes in the brain?
Then consider the International Brain Bee a way to find out the answers, compete with students from many cities, win prize money, and visit some of the best brain research facilities in the world.
About the Brain Bee
The International Brain Bee (IBB) is a live Q & A competition that tests the neuroscience knowledge of high school students. Young men and women from all over North America compete to determine who is the "best brain" on such topics as intelligence, memory, emotions, sensations, movement, stress, aging, sleep, addiction, Alzheimer's, and stroke. In a two-step process, local competitions are held throughout North America, with the winners invited to the championship at the University of Maryland during Brain Awareness Week in March. The IBB is an attempt to motivate our youth to learn about the brain, capture their imagination and inspire them to pursue careers in biomedical brain research. We challenge educators and scientists to start a brain bee in their city. We challenge students to compete! It's fun, easy, and rewarding.
