SUMMARY:Noggin @ NAEOP Conference
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin presents: Forward thinking about STEAM  –  with (actual) BRAINS @ Northwest Association of Educational Opportunity Programs (NAEOP) conference! \nWe did it!\n\nThreshold through TRIO\n\n \n \n \nWHERE: Hilton Bellevue Hotel\, 300 112th Ave SE\, Bellevue\, WA 98004; Kirkland \nWHEN: Monday\, October 18\, 10:15 – 11:30am \n \n \n \nNW Noggin is honored to present LIVE at the NAEOP conference this year on our extensive volunteer STEM + Arts collaborations with TRIO and other community programs! \n \nForward Thinking about STEAM\nHow 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 motivating 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 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. \n \nCheck out our most recent collaboration with TRIO on the North Oregon coast! \nViking\, Shark\, Fishermen & Bandit Brains!\n \nOver four days in October\, we took questions\, discussed neuroscience research\, poked brains and made original neurons and glia at public schools in Astoria and Seaside! \n \nSLIDES: NAEOP Slides FINAL (pdf) \nSLIDES: NAEOP Slides FINAL (ppt)

SUMMARY:Noggins @ Sunnyside LIVE!
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: NW Noggin @ Sunnyside Environmental School \nWe did it!\nHow to visit public schools\n \n \nWHERE: Sunnyside Environmental School\, 3421 SE Salmon St\, Portland\, OR 97214 \nWHEN: Tuesday\, October 26\, 9:45am – noon (arrival and set up @ 9:45am; first class 10 – 10:50am; second class 11 – 11:50am) and again on Thursday (10/28) \nEveryone outdoors\, fully vaccinated and properly masked. \nContacts: Asa Gervich and Jeremy Thomas\, 4th grade teachers \n \nWe are thrilled to return LIVE to Jeremy and Asa’s lively classrooms this fall! We’ll make two visits\, on Tuesday (10/26) and Thursday (10/28) to consider faces and the brain. We’ll examine faces\, make faces\, draw faces\, consider faces in art and explore how we share our own unique brains through expression. \n \nBut we’ll also make brain cells and consider AMAZING questions from 4th graders!\nFrom 4th Grade Teacher Asa Gervich: \nOver the past weeks\, students have learned about the interplay between their prefrontal cortex\, hippocampus\, and amygdala – and how mindfulness practices can help us self-regulate. Last week\, we learned about the Reticular Activating System – and how it can help us sift through myriad sensory inputs to focus on something important – like\, how does an NBA player tune out all the zany free-throw distractions happening in the stands? Or\, what role did the RAS play in about half of our class not spotting the gorilla in this video? What’s going on with our RAS when we listen to music and can isolate one particular instrument? Can everyone do that? We were thinking that visit #2 would be an awesome time to bring out the brain specimens (give them something to look forward to after visit #1). And\, Jeremy put in a vote for that super cool electrical-impulse station if you guys are still doing that… \n \nSome current kid wonderings: \nIf parts of the brain are damaged or lose function\, how does that impact how the body works?\nIs the brain actually pink? Why?\nWhich is more important\, the brain or the heart?\nHow was Albert Einstein’s brain different from other people’s?\nIf two people were born at the exact time\, and they liked the exact same stuff\, and thought the same things at the same time – how would their brains be different? Would their brains be different?\nHow many neural pathways are there in your brain? \n \nCan neural pathways be rebuilt or repaired? \nIs your brain like your immune system? \nYou know how your fingerprints are unique to you – I wonder if your brain is the same way – is everyone’s completely unique\nWhen someone experiences a failure of either brain or heart (or both) and they survive it – how does that happen?\nPerhaps the number of pathways is infinite – because you can always learn new things…\nIf you have learned how to do a thing through mistake-making\, and then you had some brain damage\, would you be starting from step one to be learning that thing? Would you need to make all those mistakes all over again?\nWhat’s going on with people who have amnesia? Do people ever get amnesia so bad that they don’t know who they are anymore? \nLook forward to seeing you all soon! \n \nCOMMITTED VOLUNTEERS \n\nBill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, PSU/NW Noggin\nElana Kananykhina\, PSU\nBritta Harbury\, PSU\nArielle Isakharov\, OHSU\nTheresa Vu\, PSU\nAaron Eisen\, OHSU\nLevi Banks\, PSU\n\n \nSEE WHAT WE DID AT SUNNYSIDE BEFORE AND DURING COVID 🦠 \nThank You Northwest Noggin!\n \nNeurons in Minecraft & More!\n \nA crayon in Homer’s brain\n \nWhat about the glia?
