THE AMAZING BRAIN: A WORK IN PROGRESS (students and parents)

One presentation is designed with students in mind, and the other for parents. They are organized on separate days. The presentation provides an “operator’s manual” for what science refers to as the most complex three pounds of matter in the known universe. Topics include: the basic architecture of the brain, the importance of diet and hydration, exercise and sleep; the role of downtime and movement in augmenting learning; the worrying damage that can be caused by binge drinking and other drug abuse; good stress, bad stress, and more. Nova parents who would like to attend can follow THIS link to our registration form.
