Brain Bee training camps

[Vards]

Greetings from Biolympiads!

We hope that summer holidays are going well! Biolympiads.com is inviting all students interested in neuroscience to join our online training camp for the Brain Bee competition. 

About the Brain Bee

The International Brain Bee was founded in 1999 and is the world-wide neuroscience competition for high school students. Founded by Dr Norbert Myslinski, the Brain Bee motivates students to learn about the brain, captures their imaginations, and inspires them to pursue neuroscience careers to help treat and find cures for neurological and psychological disorders.

Currently, more than 60 nations and 175 chapters are engaged in coordinating Brain Bee programs around the world, and this number is rapidly increasing. About 50,000 students participate across all 6 continents every year, and more than 600 neuroscientists have been involved with organizing and judging the events. 

The official Brain Bee website is https://thebrainbee.org.

Hello Dana,

Yes, in the Google form there is a question about the best suitable class time and depending on the majority we will fix the time. We hope to host classes at other timings than our currently running summer camps. ;-)
