Brain Expo

There are currently no plans for a Brain Expo in 2011.

ABOUT THE EXPO

Brain Awareness Month (BAM) in Atlanta has become famous for CBN’s annual Brain Expo. In partnership with Zoo Atlanta, CBN reaches more than 180 middle school students from a local school district who take a field trip to participatie in a day-long "reverse science fair" in which the students judge their favorite neuroscience learning stations based on effectiveness and fun.

At the Expo, students learn about the brain and behavior through interactive booths on a range of topics from brain anatomy to learning and memory. Our data indicate that students find neuroscience more "fun," and more "interesting," and are more likely to see neuroscience as a potential career choice after participating in our Brain Expo.
