Palestine Brain Bee is the national Brain Bee for Palestine, organized by the Neuro-Pal Center, a neuroscience teaching and research centre. Students compete in five stages covering brain science, neuroanatomy and neurological diseases.
Palestine is listed as an active International Brain Bee (IBB) country, and winning the national competition is the route to the IBB World Championship. The final is usually held in March or April in Ramallah/Birzeit.
Benefits & funding
- The registration form mentions no entry fee; no prizes or travel funding are stated.
- Two free study books are provided: Neuroscience: Science of the Brain and Brain Facts.
- The national winner becomes eligible for the IBB World Championship.
Eligibility
- Palestinian students aged 13–19.
- Must be enrolled in a Palestinian high school now; anyone who finished high school before registering is ineligible, even within the age range.
- Students compete in their country of residence (IBB rule).
- At most one Local and one National Brain Bee per year; entering a national Brain Bee and the IYNA Virtual Brain Bee in the same year leads to disqualification.
