Celebrated in 35 countries around the world, the Brain Bee is a competition for high school students, grades 9 through 12. Students are tested on the knowledge about the brain and neuroscience research. It is designed to stimulate interest and excitement about brain research.  Students study topics on memory, sleep, intelligence, emotion, perception, stress, aging, brain imaging, neurology, neurotransmitters, genetics, and brain disease (just to list a few).

The 2025 Halifax Brain Bee will see students from HRM competing for a place at the National Competition, to be held in Ottawa later this year.
