Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
The project always seeks to associate three-dimensional modeling and entertainment activities (games, puzzles, etc) to explain neuroscience. An important event that can be cited was the creation of an educational workshop that showed the advantages of a bone marrow donation, its procedures all demonstrated with 3D models, and discussions of the emotional aspects involved, among other important aspects. But we can report another important event performed in the hospital outpatient clinic of neurology for children awaiting consultation and their parents where we explained about the brain, some important functions to be highlighted, using 3D models and entertainment activities that softened the harrowing moments that this group pass.

Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
The brain week drew a lot of interest from our partners (schools, etc) that came to know BAW. Making the Brain Week is always a welcome attraction for our partners who want this activity to your public and, come to admire BAW. This event is one of the events that we consider mandatory for our project and we do it with great pleasure.
