The ‘Brain Bee’ national school students competition is held every year across the country with the support of the Cognitive Science and Technology Development Headquarters of Iran.
In the 11th National Student Brain Science Competition, which was held in March, thousands of students from different provinces of Iran participated in the theory test. In the first stage of the competition, dozens of students qualified for the final stage.
The second and final stage of the competition was recently held in person at the Iran University of Medical Sciences, and finally, Mahsa Alizadeh from Tehran province won the first place in the country and qualified as Iran's representative for the International Brain Bee 2025 in the US.
Iran has participated in the international Brain Bee competition seven times so far, and in the last six editions, the Iranian students have won first to fifth places, which indicates the scientific potential of the Iranian teenagers at the international level.
The international Brain Bee competition, also known as the World Junior Neuroscience Olympiad, began in 1999 and is now held in more than 50 countries around the world.
