WESTBOROUGH On March 3, Midwestern University virtually hosted 73 of the country’s top high school students for the 22nd Annual Arizona Regional Brain Bee, an educational competition similar to a spelling bee that focuses on neuroscience.
The 2021 Arizona Regional Brain Bee at Midwestern University was presented in partnership with the BHHS Legacy Foundation.
This year, in recognition of COVID-19 restrictions, the Arizona Regional Brain Bee was held via an online Zoom meeting. Because other regional Brain Bees across the nation were canceled due to the pandemic, participants from as far away as Texas, New England and North Carolina were invited to join local Arizona students to test their knowledge of the human brain and how it governs human behavior, and the science that helps medical professionals understand brain function.
