对孩子大脑晚part of internationalBrain Awareness Week(March 14-20) and provides families an opportunity to learn about neuroscience through experiments and activities designed just for kids. The event is designed to increase the awareness of how the brain works and possibly create a new generation of neuroscientists.

Demonstrations range from bike-helmet safety, brain reflexes, eye-hand coordination, and comparing different brains of different species. Children are encouraged to build their own nerve cell with pipe-cleaners and get a face painting of a nerve cell or brain. In addition, the children have the opportunity to touch an actual human brain.
