How does it work
Initially, we established Brain Bee Armenia, however, due to the high interest of Georgian students we decided to expand our initiative!
Both students studying in Armenia and Georgia will take the same test during the first stage however students from both countries will be scored separately. Top students from each country will be invited to the in-person finals on the 10th of March in UWC Dilijan, Armenia! During the finals, participants will have a chance to listen to lectures from professional neuroscientists and learn more about opportunities to pursue a career in neuroscience. The winner from each country will be chosen to represent their country in the International Brain Bee.
We are aware of travel difficulties, therefore the finals will be hybrid-people who cannot attend in person will be able to join us online!
