2026 Atlanta Regional Brain Bee Workshop #1

Teenage students representing middle and high schools in their states or regions turn out yearly for local Brain Bees. In these elimination-style competitions, students answer questions about the functioning of the brain and nervous system one by one until a single winner remains.

These Brain Bee workshops offer instruction on the content of the Society for Neuroscience's BRAIN FACTS. Students aged13-19 are invited to join one or both of the workshops - as weekend science fun or as preparation for the Atlanta Brain Bee.

The January 17th Workshop will present different content than the January 31st Workshop - Participants are welcome to register for one or both workshops. Please confirm you are registering for correct date(s).

Registration for the Brain Bee competition is separate and can be sent out at a later date.
