Neuroscience Saturday

Neuroscience Saturday is designed to immerse students in cutting-edge brain research, while introducing them to modern science in a way that's accessible, fun, and inspirational. Featuring hands-on activities and interaction with scientists from both Scripps Florida and the new Max Planck Florida Institute, this all-day workshop explores brain function and dysfunction. How do we learn and form memories? How is the brain structured? How does addiction affect your brain and your behavior?

The curriculum is designed for students in grades nine and ten. Neuroscience Saturday takes place at the Scripps Florida research facility in Jupiter and runs from 10 a.m. until approximately 3:30 p.m. Lunch is provided. Due to limited space, participation is limited to 20 students from each school. Teachers and parents are welcome to attend.
