The International Brain Bee Competition (IBB) is a three-tiered question and answer competition that tests the neuroscience knowledge of high school students. Young men and women from all over the world compete to determine who has the "best brain" on such topics as intelligence, memory, emotions, stress, aging, sleep, and neurological disease. In order to be eligible to participate in the international competition, high school students must win in their respective local and national bees.</p>
<p>The local brain bees are the first qualifying round of the IBB competition. These are held in the year round, but most often occur in January or February (right before the international competition) at more than fifty sites across the world. These Local Brain Bee competitions are sponsored by organizations like colleges, museums, neuroscience associations, pharmaceutical companies and others. The winner from each local bee will be invited to his or her National Brain Bee later that year.</p>
<p>The National Brain Bees are the second qualifying round of the IBB competition. The national bees will be held in each participating country, and the winner from each country's bee will be invited to the International Brain Bee Championship.

<p>Wow, no one on CC does this?</p>
<p>I feel so lonely now...lol</p>
<p>Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.</p>
<p>I wish to compete in the regional Brain Bee competition in my area next month. I don't know the exact date for this year's competition, though the trends from past years indicate the competition is in the first/second week of january. How can I best prepare for it in the time that I have?</p>
<p>Has anyone ever participated in this competition? If you are interested in it, PM me. I’m looking for a study buddy :-)</p>
<p>bump 10char</p>
<p>Triple bump 10char</p>
<p>Sounds really nerdy and pointless. Jeopardy tryout > this. Top 300 in the country right hurr, hollaaaa.</p>
<p>I keep on bumpinnn</p>
<p>I’ve heard of it and participated in the local qualifier (only like 10 people showed up), it was interesting + free food. I didn’t place 
(but i haven’t taken biology in years, so i don’t feel too bad)</p>
<p>Does anyone know what the format is like for the local bees? Are the answers one word typically or are there long answer questions?</p>
<p>would winning International Brain Bee increase the chance of getting into top 10 med schools?</p>
