Brain Awareness Week (BAW) is a series of events held around the world to increase public awareness about the brain. We create and implement programs for local school children to learn more about the brain.

Our outreach mission is to provide web resources and hands-on activities that lead to brain and neuroscience awareness in your classroom.  Activities can be performed by you or by neuroscientists from our community who you invite to your classroom.  Neuroscience-related topics may include: the brain and how it works, brain health and safety, comparative neuroscience, professions in neuroscience, and more.  Resources and activities are designed for differentiation in order to tailor-fit your classroom and curriculum needs.

For more information on how to get involved in Brain Awareness Week in the Vermont area, contact the NGP student Coordinator at at neurogp@uvm.edu.
