The Canadian National Brain Bee is a neuroscience competition for high school students, grades 9 through 12. Students study brain and neuroscience research topics including memory, sleep, intelligence, emotion, perception, stress, aging, brain imaging, neurology, neurotransmitters, genetics, brain disease, and more. The winning students from the regional brain bee competitions in Canada will compete to advance to the next level of competition: the International Brain Bee.
We are proud to cheer on Avalon Lively, Halifax Brain Bee winner 2025, and Grayer Parsons, Antigonish Brain Bee winner and wish them both the best of luck!
We also thank the undergraduate students who helped with the Halifax Brain Bee, particularly Lamisa Rahman, who has been tutoring Avalon and was a previous Halifax Brain Bee champion.
