Art and Brains: Collaborating with Community for Future Success

(the conference theme is “Back to the Future” 🥴🚀)

How do we inspire students? Brains let us perceive, think and behave, and discoveries in neuroscience offer actionable, compelling information about who we are and how we function. Going where you are surprised and challenged by new circumstances and perspectives drives motivated engagement, as does making art. During these moments our brains are changeable and open to new ideas. Nonprofit Northwest Noggin (nwnoggin.org) organizes undergraduates and graduates to collaborate, build community networks and inspire people about neuroscience and art. We bring volunteers excited by research into urban and rural K-12 public schools, correctional facilities, Congress, houseless youth centers, coffee shops and pubs to hear to what people already know and what they’d like to know, and see where our stories and discoveries from labs and classrooms intersect. We’ve met 50,000 people since 2012! Discover what we’ve learned, craft your own cells and examine real brain specimens up close.
