Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
The elementary students are always very enthusiastic, and have many questions for us. I believe the experience makes them have better understanding of their brains and bodies, and encourages them to think about careers in neuroscience and medicine.
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
