At the end of each episode, that week’s winning team gets to face “The Cortex,” a tough intelligence test which provides the players with the opportunity to build up their prize fund. The winning team leaves with a “Genius Junior” grant, to help them prepare for their future.

We hope for a second season.. these kids are amazing. My family loves it, watched every episode no half naked people with filthy words no one eating bugs . Just great showing of gods little miracles . Mr. Patrick we hope to see you next season.
This is the best thing NBC has going, and such a refreshing change of pace from the massive mounds of dreck on pretty much every channel. These kids are phenomenally gifted, check them out.
Please renew it. Little Geniuses is a great way to showcase the things that good kids are doing. Too much TV shows the troublemakers anymore
