The Art of Science: Build-a-Brain Workshops

Edinburgh Neuroscience occasionally hosts these one-hour workshops by Oxford-based scientist-turned-artist Dr. Lizzie Burns, who challenges you to create your own 3-D brains (out of a fabulous, very tactile modelling material) and helps you to find out which bits do what as well - you even get to take your brains home!
The Build-a-Brain workshop is suitable for: High School Students.

We try to bring Dr Burns to Edinburgh whenever funds allow. Unfortuantely, there are no build-a-brain workshops currenty planned - sorry.
