March is Brain Awareness Month. Each year, the Atlanta Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience spreads the word about Brain Research to schools and the public. We host visits to Atlanta area elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools by neuroscientists, reaching thousands of students. If you are interested in a school visit, sign up your class using the online form here.

If you are interested in volunteering for classroom visits as a neuroscientist volunteer, fill out the online form here.

The Atlanta-based Center for Behavioral Neuroscience also sponsors an annual Brains Rule! Neuroscience Exposition. In partnership with Zoo Atlanta, CBN reaches thousands during the spring Exposition, the largest public education event of its type in the country.

We have many resources available for teachers and volunteers to communicate information about the brain to K-12 students here .

To read more about the Brain Awareness Campaign, visit the Society for Neuroscience web site.

Other Brain Awareness related events include:

We want your lesson plans and activity ideas!

We are making an effort in the Atlanta Brain Awareness community to create a database of successful and creative lessons and activities that volunteers and teachers have used with K-12 students to teach about the brain.  Add your ideas here!
