About the Brain Bee
The Georgia Regional Brain Bee is sponsored by the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience.
The winner of the Georgia Regional Brain Bee will be given the chance to represent Georgia in the National Brain Bee Championship to be held in Baltimore, MD. Contact Dr. Norbert Myslinski (brainbee@gmail.com) for more information. You may also visit the International Brain Bee Web site for the United States National Brain Bee
Eligibility Criteria:
Any Georgia student in grades 9-12 is eligible
to compete. Students from nearby states that do not host Brain Bee competitions are also invited to compete.
Registration:
Check back in the fall of 2010 for registration information regarding the 2011 Georgia Regional Brain Bee.
Preparatory Materials:
In the regional Brain Bee competition, all questions are taken from content in Brain Facts, a primer on the brain and nervous system published by the Society for Neuroscience and available free of charge on the Society's Web site. For more information about this publication, contact the Society for Neuroscience at 202-962-4000.
For sample questions, see the International Brain Bee Web site. The Brain Bee contest consists of two rounds. Round I is a brief, written, multiple-choice test. Students who score in the top 50 percent of Round I test scores move on to Round II, the oral competition. In the second round, students are asked questions one-by-one and must answer aloud. Those who answer correctly remain in competition, while those who answer incorrectly to three different questions are disqualified (triple elimination). The last student remaining is crowned the Georgia Regional Brain Bee Champion.
