Neuroscience is a subject at the forefront of current research and of great interest to many students. However, most students will need to wait until college in order to explore this topic as it is generally only offered at a handful prestigious private high schools. FLEX’s Neuroscience courses will offer an introduction to one of the most notoriously challenging disciplines in biology and the health sciences. By presenting material in an approachable yet rigorous way and student projects, we hope to spark an interest in students and inspire them to pursue further study in this exciting field.
Program Objectives
- Introduce students to neurons, the brain, and organization of the nervous system
- Expose students to challenging content at an introductory level
- Prep toward Brain Bee competition, a prestigious neuroscience competition for HS students
