Roadmap¶
This book is a living project. The plan below shows what is done and what is planned. Plans can change based on feedback from students and teachers, so if something here matters to you, say so on GitHub.
Released¶
- Version 1.0 (October 2026). 16 chapters, 16 interactive MicroSims, a clinical case in every chapter, 160 quiz questions, a 253-concept learning graph, a glossary, an FAQ, a Brain Bee strategy guide with a 50-question mock exam, and a careers appendix.
- Version 1.1 (October 2026). A full science edit with an update of time-sensitive facts, a For Teachers page, a Club and Study Group Kit, printable chapter PDFs on the Downloads page, and a public Accuracy and Corrections page.
Planned¶
These are goals, not promises. Each one will be listed in the changelog when it is done.
| Plan | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Expert review of every chapter by neuroscientists, clinicians, and teachers, credited by name | Outside experts catch mistakes that authors miss |
| A classroom and club pilot that measures whether the chapters and simulations help students learn | To find out what actually works, using real data |
| Spanish translations, starting with Chapters 1 to 4, reviewed by fluent speakers | Brain Bee competitions run in many countries, and many students learn best in their first language |
| Audio versions of each chapter | For students who learn better by listening or who have visual impairments |
| A Frontiers chapter on brain-computer interfaces, gene therapies, and AI in neuroscience | These fields are changing fast, and students ask about them |
| More simulations, including an EEG reader and a neuron-firing lab | Hands-on practice for the skills used in higher Brain Bee rounds |
Want to help?¶
- Teachers and club leaders: tell us how you used the book with the I used this book form.
- Scientists and clinicians: volunteer to review a chapter.
- Translators: open a suggestion and say which language you can help with.
