Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
I divided my AP Psychology classes into Brain Teams and each day in class they took part in a different Brain Based trivia challenge with the final challenge being the “Battle of the Brains”. Winners for each challenge received a brain-based prize. The final winning team of Battle of the Brains received a Brain Awareness T-shirt.
