"Making Neuroscience Fun" is a community outreach program designed to teach children pre-K through 8th grade about the brain and the nervous system through age-appropriate interactive and fun presentations. The program was created and implemented in 2003 by Dr. Linda Gorman who is a teaching professor at Johns Hopkins University.
From 2003 to May 2010, there have been 42 local schools participating in the program. In 2009 - 2010 we visited 32 schools and presented to 4,727 elementary and middle-school students.
If you would like to request more information, plan a visit to your school, or have questions, please email Dr. Gorman: lgorman1@jhu.edu, or the Program Coodinator, Beth Bolton: bethbolton@jhu.edu.

The main goal of the program is to show elementary and middle school students that learning about science – and in particular – neuroscience can be fun.
Students from the Undergraduate Neuroscience Program, Nu Rho Psi (the JHU Undergraduate Neuroscience Society) and related departments go out to local schools and talk about various topics related to Neuroscience. Topics such as: How do I know the difference between the taste of chocolate and broccoli? How can I smell smoke that is far away? Do drugs really make you happy? Can I learn while I sleep? How do I see?
We will gladly visit your school upon request. Please contact Beth Bolton, our Program Coordinator at bethbolton@jhu.edu.
- This is a FREE program.
