Neuroscience Outreach Program
Through the Rowan-Virtua School of Translational Biomedical Engineering & Sciences we offer a student-led neuroscience outreach program that brings hands-on, age-appropriate science lessons to local middle and high schools. The program’s mission is to spark curiosity, expand access to STEM education, and inspire future scientists, with a focus on engaging students from diverse and underserved communities. Presentations are led by graduate and medical students and include interactive activities, real-world neuroscience examples, and open discussions about careers in science and medicine.
What we Offer
- Interactive brain science presentations
- Preserved mammal tissue
- Hands-on activities like "The Rope Neuron"
- Prizes for partipation and engagement
- Age-appropriate content based on grade
