BrainsRule! is a one-day event where we bring 6th graders from local middle schools to campus to learn about the brain and encourage their interest in science. We are looking for energetic volunteers willing to spend some time sharing their love of the brain and neuroscience with enthusiastic kids.
We will discuss the event and volunteer responsibilities in more detail at the volunteer meeting on Monday, March 7th at 5:15 pm. ALL volunteers are required to attend. At this meeting, you will also get to meet other volunteers assigned to your booth and get advice from people who have run the demonstration before.
