International Brain Bee

Pre-College Issues High School Life

I’m interested in competing in the international brain bee. My school isn’t involved in it so I don’t know much about it. I have a few questions:

  1. Would I have to make a school team or can I compete individually?
  2. If there isn’t a local competition held near me can I just go to the one closest to me?
  3. Where can I find the local competition list? (I live in Maryland)

Hi! I participated (not in Maryland though) last year. You do not need to make a school team, and I was not aware that that is a common practice for the Brain Bee. My “local one” was cancelled due to lack of interest in the region, so yes, you go to the closest one. I think there is a USA Brain Bee website with a list of local competitions and coordinators. Good luck!
