Students in a classroom

Featured program

Brain Discovery is a school-based outreach program that brings neuroscientists into 4th-6th grade classrooms to lead hands-on experiments and activities, allowing students to experience the scientific process through explorations of the brain and nervous system.

In the first session of “Ask a Neuroscientist,” neuroscientists at Washington University in St. Louis answer some of the frequently asked questions by Brain Discovery’s 4th-6th grade students.
