Animal Brain Scanner
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! One of our stuffed animals had a little tumble and needs a brain check-up! Visitors will get to pick a stuffed animal and help “scan” the toy’s head using a pretend MRI machine. As they learn how doctors take pictures of the brain to make sure everything is okay, kids get to see images of real brains and talk about how medical tools—though sometimes loud or unfamiliar—can help us feel better and stay safe.
