Grant Activity:
Kids Navigate Neuroscience
Purpose:
Why doesn't food taste as good when we have a cold? How do neurons communicate? What does the brain look like up close? In this fun and interactive childrens event, kids (aged 6 to 11) will explore how the brain and nervous system work by participating in a series of interactive neuroscience exhibits, created by faculty and students at the Adelaide Medical School at the University of Adelaide.
Examine how information moves between neurons 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 in Training" certificate. At the end of the event, all children will come together to compete in a quiz for prizes.
