Halifax Brain Bee 2026

Registration is not open yet, but watch this space to register for the 2026 Halifax Brain Bee. Registrants will be acknowledged within a week and provided with more information after they register.

Date: TBC

Note: The Brain Bee embraces the principle that science is for everyone. All students in grades 9-12, regardless of their neuroscience background or preparation, are encouraged to participate in the Brain Bee. The Brain Bee is not just a test; it is an opportunity for high school students to visit Dalhousie University, and the Brain Repair Centre; to interact with university students, staff and faculty, and be exposed to neuroscience research. The Brain Bee runs on volunteer hours and donor funding, and no-shows come at a cost to the organizing university. If you happen to register but cannot attend, please email your local Brain Bee in advance to let them know of your withdrawal from the competition. Thanks

Congratulations to Paige Klassen, Charles P. Allen High School

Paige went on to represent Halifax in the National Brain Bee held in May 2024. She graduated (High School) in June 2024 and we hope to catch up with her in the Fall and find out what she is up to! Avalon is heading into grade 11, so we hope to see her again at the 2025 competition.
