"Making Neuroscience Fun" is a program by Dr. Linda Gorman, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, designed to teach children K-8 about the brain and the nervous system.
The main intent of "Making Neuroscience Fun" is to educate children in kindergarden up through teenagers in high school about the importance of the brain and nervous system in everyday life.
The Undergraduate Neuroscience Program of Johns Hopkins University sends its neuroscience students out to local Baltimore schools to lecture on various topics from how the brain controls movements and allows us to play sports, to how drugs can affect our emotions and the way we feel.
