Our Mission
Every young mind deserves access to the science of themselves.
BrainReach was founded by four high schoolers who grew up in communities where STEM — especially neuroscience — felt out of reach. We go directly to middle schoolers with engaging, free workshops that make the brain accessible and exciting.
Every workshop includes all materials, structured notetaking guides, and snacks — because learning works better on a fueled brain.
