Join us for the second annual BrainFest, a day of brainy fun for all ages at PacSci. Explore hands-on activities, meet Allen Institute scientists and collaborators, learn about cutting-edge neuroscience research and even touch a real brain!
Featured activities include:
- Look at real mouse and human brain samples under a microscope.
- Listen in on the electricity in your own nervous system.
- Play games to explore how the brain develops across childhood.
- Investigate the shapes of real brain cells and make your own pipe cleaner model to take home.
- Compare different animal brains – including a T. Rex brain cast!
- Learn about Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions with real human brains from the UW Biorepository.
- Meet neuroscientists from the Allen Institute and other local institutions.
