The University of Notre Dame’s Neuroscience and Behavior program has an annual Brain Awareness Fair each spring in Michiana to promote STEM disciplines, specifically neuroscience. This program is free to the community and consists of hands-on activities developed to foster public enthusiasm in the understanding of neuroscience. The event brings together Notre Dame students and Michiana families to learn about the different aspects of the brain. Some of the activities include modeling neuron structure with beads and candy, drawing brain structure on swim caps, and learning about neuroplasticity through a game.
