Neuroanatomy Explorers at the Brain Awareness Campaign Event, Chicago 2019


Presentation by Leigh Wilson, Robyn Quinlan and Richard Wingate for the Brain Awareness Campaign Event at the Society of Neuroscience Annual Meeting 2019 in Chicago. The project involved class visits and a workshop at the "Spare Parts" exhibition at the Science Gallery London.

Scientists worked with 8-9 year old from St Francis of Assisi Primary School in West London to produce a pack of Top Trump cards. Each student imagined their brain and body adapted for a new environment and created a card for each with scores for different characteristics.
