If there are only 2 things I learned about kids in my 3 years as a camp counselor, they are that kids are curious and they like to talk about their selves, so what better way to get them interested in science than by teaching them about their own brain? People at the BAW campaign had some very creative ways to teach neuroscience to kids as well. A video by students at the University of Texas used sock puppets to represent neural circuits in the brain, while other program teach about cerebral spinal fluid with an egg! Other programs offer tours of labs, a great way to show kids what science really is. I think all of these programs are extremely important for the development of scientists of the future and I would encourage any neuroscience student to participate in outreach if possible. ? What could be more fun than helping kids learn about brains by smashing eggs and making sock puppet videos? ?If you haven?t yet, check out the SFN Brain Awareness Week website and watch the videos there. They also have great resources for anyone interested in holding their own Brain Awareness week event.
