Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
1. It raised public awareness of the workings undergirding the human brain.
2. There were great demonstrations of empathy shown to each other’s learnings with the ever-plastic human brain.
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
1. Public sessions and workshops could be organised apropos the ever-evolving field of neuroscience.
2. Asynchronous learning sessions could be organised for students from elementary to senior high schools in engaging them in self-paced learning on the diverse perspectives on the operationalising of our brain in progress.
