Make a Neuron
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! Get crafty with neuroscience! At this creative station, you’ll use pipe cleaners, beads, and other art materials to design your very own neuron. Guided by real diagrams and photos, you’ll learn about the key parts and how signals travel from one neuron to the next. No matter what type of neuron you make, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how brain cells connect, communicate, and shape everything we do.
