Grant Activity:
Kids Navigate Neuroscience
Purpose:
Why does food not taste good when we have a cold? How do neurons communicate? What does the brain look like up close? Come meet your brain and find out.
In this fun and interactive children's event, held in the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide, kids (aged 6 to 11) will explore how the brain and nervous system work in a fun and hands–on way by participating in a series of interactive neuroscience exhibits created by faculty and students at the University of Adelaide.
Examine how information moves between neurones by playing a game of Synaptic Ping Pong, build layers (meninges) around an egg to see what types of protection are best for the brain, explore how optical illusions work, look at human brains up close, and more. At each station, children can collect a stamp in their Passport to the Brain and work towards earning an official Brain Training certificate.
This year, in addition to the main event, there will be the Neuroscience Nexus, where people of all ages can come and discover fun and interactive neuroscience booths.
