Notre Dame Brain Bee

Three individuals stand before a chalkboard. One holds a book titled "How Your Brain Works," another displays a light blue, long-sleeved Notre Dame Neuroscience and Behavior t-shirt, and the third holds a clear glass award.

NEW Name and Programming changes coming soon!

The Notre Dame Brain Bee was established in the 2023-24 academic year with the goal of promoting neuroscience education and engagement in the local community. With a unique activity-based curriculum, the Notre Dame Brain Bee aims to spark excitement around the joy of learning. Students are then able to display what they have learned in a local neuroscience-themed trivia competition held at the end of the academic year. All 8th to 12th-grade students (aged 14-18) are encouraged to join. In every workshop, we explored different wonders of the brain through activities. The activity is often the highlight of the workshop as it helps the students see what’s going on in their own minds and is, in general, a fun game!
