| What
is a Brains Rule! Exposition? |
|
The Brains Rule! Neuroscience
Exposition is an interactive science fair. You, the Neuroscience
Professional, create a hands-on educational exhibit/demonstration
about a concept in basic or applied neuroscience. Elementary
school students (6th grade) learn from you and judge your
work! Children will visit your booth in groups of 5-6 and
will stay about 20 minutes. You will have approximately
an 8' x 10' area in which to conduct your activity. Presentors
will be awarded for their presentations at a special awards
ceremony at the end of the day.

to help you, other neuroscience professionals or graduate
students make great team members.
2. Meet with your team and brainstorm ideas for a
hands-on activity
3. Check out the sample
project ideas.
