Race for Perfection

Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! At this fast-paced station, you’ll challenge your motor abilities through your choice of two engaging activities. First, race against the clock in the classic Perfection game, fitting shapes into their slots before time runs out. Then, try the Purdue Pegboard test, a real scientific tool used to measure hand-eye coordination and finger agility. Come race for perfection and discover the science behind every skillful move!
