Grades: K-5th. Tom is bored in class and makes a paper airplane… Should he throw it? What’s happening inside Tom’s brain?
At Neuro Ninjas we use a cutting-edge NeuroRobot prototype (SpikerBot by Backyard Brains) that allows our kids to work on an iPad or computer by adding neurons and connecting them into circuits (neural networks) that define the robot’s behavior. We learn about how fear, wanting and self-control work together when you make decisions. We make neurons with colorful foam, and brains with playdough and resin to bring home. We color and play games while learning neuroscience, developing our abstract thinking, solving challenges to design functional neural circuits and growing.
This is a hands-on unique opportunity for your child to get a mechanistic understanding of how our brain works, and why it is sometimes hard to make a choice. Get to know your own brain and become a Neuro Ninja! Instructor: Lucia Guerri, PhD. 6 classes.
Online registration closes at 12 noon two days before the class begins. To register after online registration has closed (depending on class availability), please call 734-994-2300 ext. 0.
