The Peru National Brain Bee is Peru’s affiliated round of the International Brain Bee (IBB), a neuroscience competition for high-school students. The IBB lists Colleen Duggar Muñoz as Peru’s coordinator and Peru as an active participating country.
No competitor from Peru appears on the IBB’s 2024 or 2025 competitor lists. No Peru format, venue or dates are published, and the Peru website the IBB links to no longer leads to a Brain Bee page.
