Please join us at the CNLM for the annual Brain Bee competition.

The program is directed by Manuella Oliveira Yassa and organized by a committee led by neuroscience PhD students and CNLM Ambassadors Rachael Hokenson and Winny Ning.  The goal of the Irvine Brain Bee is to inspire high school students in Orange County to learn about the brain and provide opportunities for engagement with university students and professors.

The 2023 Irvine Brain Bee Competition will take place on January 28, 2023 on the UC Irvine campus. In addition to the competition itself, the day will include neuroscience demonstrations and hands-on activities as well as panel discussions and a keynote lecture. The competition is 100% free for students.

Program participants will be required to be fully vaccinated or have an approved exception prior to the program.  Those with an approved exception will be required to provide proof of a negative test taken within 72 hours of the program.
