FGEN Neuroscience Presentations

FGEN’s Neuroscience Presentations introduce students to the fascinating world of the human brain through accessible, engaging, and age-appropriate activities.

What Will We Be Teaching?

  • History of neuroscience: We will explore theories previous scientists have proposed about the brain, and how neuroscience has progressed over the years to what it is today.
  • The Parts of the Brain: We will explore the major regions of the brain and learn what makes each one unique.
  • How Does the Brain Work? We will discover the functions of different brain regions and how they work together to control our thoughts, emotions, movements, senses, and behaviours.
  • Why Does Neuroscience Matter? We will explore why learning about the brain is important and how neuroscience connects to our everyday lives.
  • The Brain & Mental Health: We will discuss the connection between the brain, mental health, emotions, and overall well-being.
  • Interactive Learning: We will engage students through fun activities, demonstrations, Q&As, games, and challenges designed to make neuroscience exciting and memorable. Activities may include Kahoot quizzes, student demonstrations, brain-related challenges, and more.
