Feedback & Keys to Success
How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
The support we received from the DANA Foundation increased the quality of our event dramatically and tremendously helped students get excited about the brain as well as providing useful information about the brain in a fun and exciting way. It’s great to see the students light up when receiving the brain erasers and mini-booklets and start asking further questions. :]
