Volunteers will answer questions, and discuss brain development and the neuroscience of creativity with middle school students at this Portland Public School. The teachers will have nitrile gloves ready for brain handling, along with colorful pipe cleaners (~ 20/student) for building brain cells!

LEARN MORE: STEAM Art Projects

We’re told that students would appreciate a basic introduction to the brain, including some details about brain cells (neurons)  –  and networks of neurons and what they can do. We can discuss various brain lobes and their associated functions, too…

The questions that the teachers are organizing the day around are:
How can I create and strengthen positive connections in my brain that will help me be successful in school and life? How can knowledge of how the brain works help us to make a healthier community at Creative Science School?
