It was was designed by Dr. Barb Puder, Chair of Basic Science Dept. to educate all school aged students about 'their amazing brain' through presentations, posters, and interactive hands-on activities.

Many of the student attendee audiences enrolled in the health academy programs are from low income, disadvantaged households where some will be the first generation to attend college.
