Innovate. Learn. Serve.
What we have actually done
Every number on this page is work students did, and every one of them is checkable. We would rather show four real results than twenty impressive-sounding ones.
Where the money went
Everything we have raised has gone to the Alzheimer's Association — not to us. Across 4 efforts, that is $2,960.
Our programs stay free, and giving is never tied to taking part in anything. Families who can give, give; families who cannot still get the same teaching, the same community, and the same competition.
| Effort | When | Raised |
|---|---|---|
| Junior Neuro Bee | Saturday, October 17, 2026 | $270 |
| Walk to End Alzheimer's | March 2026 | $700 |
| Brain Challenge | January 2026 | $550 |
| Brain Bee Prep Session | August 2025 | $1,440 |
| Total | $2,960 |
Kids served
Roughly 100 kids have come through our courses, our community, and our competitions. Most of them found us without paying anything, which is the entire point.
Students we have coached
A student our founder personally coached finished 10th nationally and credited NeuroSpark's classes with helping them get there.
NeuroSpark's founder, Navneeth Badhri, finished 5th nationally in the USA Brain Bee.
We are specific about this on purpose. Two verified finishes, named accurately, are worth more than a page of claims.
Built something that did not exist
Junior Neuro Bee is the first neuroscience competition designed for middle schoolers. Before it, every neuroscience competition in the country was built for high school students — which meant the kids who got curious earliest had nowhere to go.

In their words
This competition gave me the confidence and preparation I needed to take the next step in my Brain Bee journey.
An exceptionally well-run and engaging competition. The experience was educational not only for the students, but for parents as well.
The prizes were meaningful, practical, and genuinely useful in helping me continue my neuroscience preparation.
It is inspiring to see young students channel their passion for neuroscience into meaningful action. Their dedication to Alzheimer’s awareness and fundraising reflects remarkable initiative and community spirit.
Help us reach the next hundred kids
Join the free community, volunteer as a judge, or support Alzheimer's research. All three cost a student nothing.
