Boston Regional Brain Bee

2012

 
 

The bee is a question-and-answer competition for high school students on brain topics, such as neurological disease, development, learning and memory and much more!  All questions come from the Brain Facts book.  Simply read, answer questions and win.

Monetary Prizes will be awarded to Boston's 'Best Brains.'

    1st Place: $350
              2nd Place: $175
                        3rd Place: $75

In addition, the Boston Regional champion will be sent to the National Brain Bee to compete with other local winners.  This will be an all expenses paid trip for two during the weekend of Brain Awareness Week 2012 (around March).

The Boston regional brain bee is brought to you from members of the Boston Area Neuroscience Group (BANG), a local chapter of the National Society for Neuroscience.  BANG member institutions include Brandeis, Boston University, Harvard, MIT, Northeastern, Tufts and UMass-Medical.
