The Australian Brain Bee Challenge (ABBC) is a test of knowledge about the brain and its functions for high school students across the country. It’s Australia’s only neuroscience competition and was started to help young people learn more about the brain, the impact of neurological and mental illnesses, neuroscience research, and help build career pathways.
