Welcome to the Official Website for the
Annual McMaster University Brain Bee

Congratulations everyone!
We had a very exciting 2008
Fifth Annual McMaster Brain Bee!

	We have our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners! All our winners are from the same school -- Centennial CVI From left to right in the photo: Isdin Oke: First Place Colin Perkins: Second Place James Scott: Third Place
Isdin Oke will represent McMaster at the First Annual Canadian National Brain Bee! The Canadian National Brain Bee will be held at McMaster on May 9-10, 2008. Competitors from all over Canada will come to compete for the National title.	The winner of the Canadian National Brain Bee will go on to compete in the International Brain Bee in Montreal on May 25-26, 2008. Competitors from countries all over the world will compete for the International title and prizes!
We had a record number of participants this year -- 37 students from 8 schools competed for the local McMaster prize. Check back soon for more photos and details!

There are great prizes and trophies at all levels of the competition! In addition to representing McMaster University and the Hamilton-Halton-Niagara Region at the First Canadian National Brain Bee in May, the first place winner takes home a Traveling trophy plaque to display at the winner's school for one year.	Still more! First and second place prizes included a Samsung Laser Printer, and a 20" LCD panel, donated by Telecom Computer. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners received an engraved trophy plaque to keep. All the participants got a beautiful Participation Certificate, and a goodie bag with some neat stuff!
2008 Brain Bee schedule The Annual McMaster Brain Bee competition is open to students from Hamilton-Halton-Niagara regions and surrounding area high schools. Starting thinking ahead to the 2009 brain bee!	If your school was not involved this year, we would love to see you at our 2009 competition! Please consider joining us! And as a little added incentive: Do you think your school can compete against Centennial CVI? Are you going to let them win again next year??

The Annual McMaster Brain Bee would not be possible without the help of our volunteers.
We would like to thank the more than 35 volunteers
(staff, faculty, graduate students, undergraduate students from PNB and MiNDS).
Thank You! Without you, the brain bee would not happen!
