Program 1: Youth Workshops

Bringing Brain Science to Life for Young Learners

Our youth workshops transform elementary and middle school classrooms into neuroscience laboratories where students become active participants in their learning.
What Students Experience
Each workshop features multiple interactive stations where students rotate through hands-on activities. These aren’t demonstrations they watch, but rather experiences they have the opportunity to participate in.

Topics We Cover

  • Memory: How do we remember things? Students explore different types of memory through engaging activities that demonstrate encoding, storage, and retrieval.
  • Perception: How does our brain interpret the world around us? Interactive stations reveal the fascinating ways our brains process sensory information.
  • Attention: What happens in our brain when we focus? Activities demonstrate how attention works and why it sometimes fails.
  • Neurons: What are the building blocks of the brain? Students learn how neurons communicate and work together to create thoughts and actions.
Workshop Format
  • Multiple activity-based stations
  • Small group rotations for hands-on participation
  • Age-appropriate explanations and demonstrations
  • Interactive learning that sparks curiosity
Ideal For
  • Elementary schools (grades 3-5)
  • Middle schools (grades 6-8)
  • After-school programs
  • Summer enrichment programs
  • Science clubs and STEM initiatives

Duration: Flexible formats available (typically 45-90 minutes)

Program 2: Senior Cognitive Engagement Sessions

Joyful Brain Engagement for Older Adults

Our senior programs create welcoming, low-pressure environments where cognitive engagement meets community connection. These aren’t tests or assessments. Instead, they’re enjoyable activities designed to stimulate thinking while fostering social interaction.
What Participants Experience
Sessions are built around the understanding that cognitive engagement should be fun, social, and accessible. We create comfortable environments where seniors can participate at their own pace.

Activities Include

  • Storytelling Sessions: Narrative activities that engage memory, creativity, and social connection
  • Music-Based Memory Activities: Using familiar songs and rhythms to stimulate recall and create shared experiences
  • Pattern Puzzles: Visual and logical challenges that encourage problem-solving in an enjoyable format
  • Group Problem-Solving: Collaborative activities that combine cognitive challenge with social interaction
Session Characteristics
  • Low-pressure, welcoming atmosphere
  • Activities adaptable to various cognitive levels
  • Social engagement integrated throughout
  • Focus on enjoyment and connection, not performance
Ideal For
  • Senior centers
  • Retirement communities
  • Adult day programs
  • Community centers serving older adults
  • Libraries with senior programming
Duration: Flexible formats available (typically 45-75 minutes)
