Event Details

The scientists from BACKYARD BRAINS who appeared on a recent Netflix Mythbusters spinoff will show us how the brain works, then apply that knowledge immediately! In this workshop students will see first hand how cyborgs are born. Each student will have the opportunity to build and test their very own "Neuroprosthetic" (Think cyborg hand!) using low cost electronics and arts and crafts materials. Then, plug in... and control the cyborg hand with your brain! Experiment with the same technology used in advanced neuroprosthetics, biofeedback devices, and other assistive technologies. For students ages 8 - 16 years of age.  

Please note: Photos taken at this even will be used by Backyard Brains. Those attending the event must sign a photo release form.
