The annual Upper Valley Brain Bee is a day featuring hands-on neuroscience activities and a friendly neuroscience competition! Students from the ages of 13-19 who are currently residing in NH or VT are welcome to compete, and anyone is welcome to attend the day's festivities!

The Upper Valley Brain Bee is a local competition that is a part of the larger International Brain Bee. This organization has the mission to build better brains to fight brain disorders, which is carried out through getting students excited about neuroscience, fostering neuroscience education, and awarding monetary prizes to top competitors. The winner of the Upper Valley Brain Bee is sent to represent NH/VT in the National Brain Bee of the following year, and the winner of this competition advances to represent the USA at the International Brain Bee.
