Thanks to a grant from the Argentinean Society for Neuroscience Research (SAN) we participated in Brain Awareness Week 2019 with classroom activities in fourth grade. ?Neuroscience of the Senses? explores the function of the brain with respect to the five senses by means of games and hands-on demonstrations. The project started with preparing the materials to take to the classrooms, the instructors manual and contacting recipient schools. 13 instructors were split in couples to reach classrooms of 20 elementary schools imparting more than 33 classes. The instructors were mainly advanced PhD students and PIs. Two instructors would arrive at their designated school with a box bearing all necessary materials and equipment for the class, which in some cases included carrying a microscope and a projector. Instructors were previously trained in group sessions with others prospective instructors and the help of a manual that also included a suggested script. The ultimate goal is to build a periodic activity for BAW and to help colleagues to repeat it in their cities. During the poster presentation we are going to share more details of the activity and the wonderful experience of interacting with the Thanks to a grant from the Argentinean Society for Neuroscience Research (SAN) we participated in Brain Awareness Week 2019 with classroom activities in fourth grade. ?Neuroscience of the Senses? explores the function of the brain with respect to the five senses by means of games and hands-on demonstrations.

During the poster presentation we are going to share more details of the activity and the wonderful experience of interacting with the most curios creature in our galaxy: 10 years-old kids of H. sapiens sapiens. This could not have been done without the help from SAN, INIMEC, MinCyT-Cordoba (Científicos con Vos y Voz) and CONICET-CCT/Cordoba.
