Spine Model
Join us at the Neuroscience Fair! At this creative station, you will explore spine and skull models, then craft a colorful bracelet that represents the central and peripheral nervous systems. As you build, you’ll learn how the spine protects the spinal cord, how nerves branch out to control movement and sensation, and how injuries can affect communication between brain and body.
