BATTLE OF THE BRAINS
Battle of the Brains is an exciting, new general knowledge trivia competition fundraiser to raise awareness and support for child education in the developing world. We will have teams of four from various Stanford dorms, student organizations and departments battling it out for the title of “Biggest Brain” in solidarity with the cause of education. And, for the grand finale, our Stanford team will compete with the Cal Quiz Bowl team in our very own ‘Big Brain’ showdown. Come expecting great performances, audience interaction, a ton of fun and ways you can support child education! There will also be a raffle to give away prizes to the audience and the event will end with a prize-giving ceremony for our top teams.
All the proceeds from this competition will go towards two projects.
-
1. William Mary Taylor School run by the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed in Bangladesh. The school teaches both able children and children with congenital mental disorders together and thus is really unique in a country where stigma and discrimination against people with disabilities is predominant.
-
2. Ananda Marga Primary School in Nairobi, Kenya. Currently, the school consists of a temporary shelter constructed of iron sheets and a school-building project is underway to provide the children with a suitable learning environment.
