Mission Statement
​The Brown Brain Bee Club is committed to inspiring the next generation of neuroscientists by expanding neuroscience outreach and exposure among high school students. Our mission is to provide a program that will allow these students to engage with neuroscience in an approaching and digestible way through classes led by undergraduate instructors. Through interactive classes, a competition, and outreach fair, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of neuroscience, and encourage students to pursue further education and careers in this dynamic field. By building a community of like-minded individuals, the Brown Brain Bee Club seeks to empower students with an interest in neuroscience to increase diversity and accessibility in the field.

Brain Fair
The Brown Brain Fair is an event held during International Brain Awareness Week with the goal of educating the local RI community about the brain and brain research. 30 neuroscience labs, hailing from Brown, surrounding hospitals, and research centers come to present diverse findings in neuroscience. There is additionally a mini speaker series where various labs discuss their work in a "lightning round" mini-lecture series.

Lab Tours
Our lab tours aim to expose high school students to cutting edge research conducted by neuroscience faculty at Brown.
