SUMMARY:NW Noggin @ Women in STEM!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Women in STEM Event! \nWe did it! A LOT of future scientists here today!!\n \nLearn more at the link!\nWomen in Science (& Art!)\n \nWHERE: Heritage High School\, 7825 NE 130th Ave\, Vancouver\, WA 98682 \nWHEN: Saturday\, March 24\, 8:00am – 1:30pm; (set up 8:00 – 9:00am) \n \nLUNCH PROVIDED! (though that’s not lunch :)) \nContact: Laura Randall\, Program Director\, nConnect \n“We look at science as something very elite\, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up\, or down\, to expectations.”  \n–Mae C. Jemison (U.S. engineer\, physicist and astronaut who became the first African-American woman in space) \n \nNW Noggin volunteers are up early today for a fun\, informative\, interactive day of STEM activities and presentations for girls in Washington’s Clark County! \n\nDoors will be open at 7:30am for Setup.\n8:30-9am : Robotics Demonstration during Student Registration/Table Setup\n(9-9:30am Quiet time for Keynote Speaker in Auditorium)\n9:30-10:30am: Interactive tables in Common Area (your name will be on your table)\n10:30-11:15am: Workshops in Classrooms\n11:25-12:10pm: Workshops in Classrooms (Your room is Rm 171)\n12:10-12:40pm: Lunch and Surveys in the Cafeteria\n12:40-1:30pm: Panel Discussion and Closing\n1:30-2:00pm: Clean up\n\n \n“The brain is a three pound mass you can hold in your hand that can conceive of a universe a hundred billion light-years across.” –Marian Diamond (who discovered how environmental enrichment expanded the number of neural connections\, with neurons sprouting dendritic spines to accommodate new synapses) \n \nOur new “Arc of the Brain Event” chariot by Matt Cartwright! \nCommitted Participants\nRuth Marigomen\, Noggin Resource Council\n Alyona Kurelenkova\, PSU\n Iris Gutierrez\, WSU\nAnthony Almonte\, WSU\n Saray Farias\, WSU\n Jeehoon Jung\, WSU\n Eric Polch\, WSU

SUMMARY:Noggin Brain Board meeting
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin Brain Board meeting \nWHERE: County Cork\, 1329 NE Fremont St\, Portland\, OR 97212 \nWHEN: Saturday\, March 24\, 2018\, 6:00pm – 7:30pm \nThe Noggin Brain Board (Jeff Leake\, President; John Harkness\, Vice President (absent); Bill Griesar\, Treasurer; Kindra Crick\, Board Secretary) MET at the County Cork on Saturday (3/24) to discuss progress and plans for more innovative arts integrated outreach in the Pacific Northwest… \n \nLEARN MORE ABOUT THE BRAIN BOARD \nSince our Board retreat in February\, 2017\, Noggin has visited more than 80 public schools\, homeless youth centers\, conferences\, galleries and bike shop pubs\, reaching more than 5000 new academic priority K-12 students and members of the public (including members of Congress) with brains\, art and enthusiastic outreach volunteers..! \n \nFrom this morning’s Women in STEM event: Noggin inspires 🙂 \nBrain Board members Jeff Leake and Bill Griesar organized and attended every visit\, and Bill wrote detailed posts about each one\, which are available here… \n \nNOGGIN BLOGGIN\n \nJeff and Bill also arranged (joyously!) for volunteers to present at their first conferences\, including the Society for Neuroscience – both the Oregon Chapter (where Bill serves as the PSU Representative)\, and at the national conference in Washington\, DC. They brought Noggin volunteers into Congressional offices on Capitol Hill to advocate for investment in research and education\, and to p:ear\, a homeless youth drop in center for a day long public session on “Homelessness & the Brain.” They traveled to Street 14 Cafe in Astoria to discuss caffeine and the brain\, to La Grande\, Heppner\, Ione\, Sheridan\, Amity\, Willamina and Siletz Valley\, Oregon for multi-day outreach visits in rural districts\, and to the Oregon Arts Education conference in Wilsonville for demonstrations of arts integration in STEM. \n \n“You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit\, or it is nowhere.” –Ursula K. Le Guin \nIn fall\, 2017\, Bill and Jeff enthusiastically encouraged volunteers to organize and present the inaugural Noggin Fest\, a public extravaganza featuring graduate and postdoctoral research presentations\, science-inspired art works\, and live music. Board members Kindra Crick and Jeff organized the art auction and Board member John Harkness served as the emcee. This well-attended event at the Alberta Rose Theater raised enough money to send 15 PSU undergraduates\, and four from WSU to present multiple posters and run a popular “Art of Neuroscience” booth at the Society for Neuroscience conference in DC\, work with over 750 local K-12 students\, present on innovative outreach to the House Neuroscience and STEAM caucuses and tour the Cajal exhibit and additional science-related art at the NIH. Noggin was awarded a 2018 “Out of the Ordinary” Juice award by the Regional Arts & Culture Council for giving “children a unique opportunity to learn about neuroscience and the brain using nontraditional\, artistic methods that make the information more accessible and impactful.” \n \nLEARN MORE: Noggin Fest 2017 \nLEARN MORE: From Classrooms to Congress \nLEARN MORE: Ten Ways to Support the Arts (& Science!) \nNoggin raised thousands of dollars in grants from diverse sources\, including Noggin Fest ($7000)\, the Spirit Mountain Community Fund ($5000)\, the Society for Neuroscience (complimentary conference registration for 18 students)\, and the Portland Alcohol Research Center at OHSU ($5000 in supplies) to run our free programs for diverse academic priority K-12 students\, and introduce them to the study of their own brains and behavior. \n \nLEARN MORE: Synapses & Stories \nDiscussions focused on Board communication\, Board member responsibilities\, expanding and/or changing the Board\, current financial status\, and plans for future outreach activities\, including the upcoming March for Science on April 14\, and possible connections in China (congrats to Jeff on winning the Arte Laguna Prize!)… \n \nIn it for the awe\, student support and service. Educators and innovators at heart. No academic or administrative agenda\, no more of the same\, no roll up costs or fancy lifetime tenure. We thoroughly enjoy making connections and communicating neuroscience & art 🙂
