Curriculum
Example Workshop Units
These are some example units we do, but we shift depending on the place we go to — like Neuroplasticity! Each session is tailored to the community we're visiting.
Introduction to the Brain
What is the brain? Why does it matter? Students get oriented to neuroscience through the lens of their own daily experiences — emotions, decisions, memories.
Memory & Learning
How do we form memories? Why do we forget? This unit explores the neuroscience of learning and gives students practical strategies to study smarter.
Emotions & the Brain
Anger, joy, fear, love — all of it is chemistry. Students discover the neurochemical basis of emotions and how understanding them can improve mental health.
Perception & the Senses
Reality is a construction of your brain. This unit uses illusions and experiments to show how our senses can fool us — and what that tells us about perception.
Sleep & the Brain
Why do we sleep? What happens in the brain during different sleep stages? Students learn why sleep is one of the most powerful cognitive enhancers available.
Mental Health & Neuroscience
Anxiety, depression, ADHD — these are brain conditions, not character flaws. This unit reduces stigma by grounding mental health in neuroscience.
