THE NEW MEXICO BRAIN BEE

Join us for the New Mexico Brain Bee: March 1, 2025

The New Mexico Brain Bee, held at the University of New Mexico EVERY SPRING, is a Neuroscience-focused competition for the teens (15-17) of New Mexico, hosted by our local chapter for the Society for Neurosciences at UNM

We challenge our teens to learn about the brain through 'Brain Facts' and through 'Science of the Brain' and then they compete for a spot to travel to the National Brain Bee Competition to compete against other local Brain Bee winners.

THE BRAIN BEE

The winner of the New Mexico competition competes at the National Brain Bee!

UNM's neuroscience experts have led the annual regional Brain Bee in New Mexico since 2015.

Neurosciences trainees and professors prepare a day celebrating neuroscience with lab tours, presentations from scientists, and the Brain Bee competition comprised of lab practical, written, and oral questions on a variety of neuroscience topics.

The winner of the New Mexico Brain Bee will receive funds to support travel for you and a chaperone to attend the USA Brain Bee Championship to compete against Brain Bee winners from across the United States.
