The Department of Neuroscience supports a number of programs that
bring neuroscience into the community. Faculty, students and staff
participate in these programs.
Brain
Awareness Week is a national program in which neuroscience faculty
and students bring their knowledge into 4th through 8th grade classrooms.
BrainScience on the Move
is a summer workshop for middle school teachers, who are given the
latest information on neuroscience and learn how to bring that information
into their classrooms.
During U of M Week at the Minnesota State Fair, department faculty,
students and staff bring neuroscience to the community. Neuroscience
at the Minnesota State Fair includes presentations and demonstrations
that include real brains and how they function. Stop by and learn
some fun stuff and get a neuroscience souvenir pencil.
Additionally, faculty, students and staff volunteer many hours,
by request, teaching neuroscience principles to K-12 students in
the classroom, at after-school events, and other groups such as
elderly hostels. Faculty and staff participate annually in outreach
programs sponsored by the College of Biological Sciences.
