2027 Atlanta Regional Brain Bee Workshop #1

Fun Saturday workshops covering the content of the Society for Neuroscience's BRAIN FACTS. Can be used as preparation for the ATL Brain Bee.
About this Event

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 aged 13-19 are invited to join one or both of the workshops - as weekend science fun or as preparation for the Atlanta Brain Bee.

The January 30th Workshop will present different content than the February 6th 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 found on our events page.
