The International Brain Bee was started by Dr. Norbert Myslinski of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at University of Maryland Dental School, Baltimore. The first Brain Bee was held in Maryland in 1998. The following year, 1999, fifteen cities in the USA and Canada conducted Brain Bees. Twelve of them sent their winners to Baltimore for the first International Championship. Today there are Brain Bee Coordinators in 100 cities in 25 countries and 6 continents. Dr. Myslinski still directs all the coordinators, as well as the International Championship, the USA National Championship and two local Brain Bees. The organization is not for profit and is funded by the donations of individuals and organizations who believe in the cause.
