What's it like being a neuroscientist?

During this session, there are various activities to help children think about how science is done. To join in with these, you will need:

• a coin
• something to cut through e.g. playdough, an apple, butter, soil and something to cut with (doesn't need to be sharp if cutting something soft)
• paper and colouring pencils/pens to draw with

Questions kids ask

During our webinars, children and young people have the opportunity to post their questions in the Q&A function and have them answered live by our neuroscientists.

Here's a video of some of the questions asked during our primary Brain Anatomy webinar.
