More undergraduates showing interest in the brain, and making others in the community aware of brain diseases and brain health.
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
Most people are not interested in the brain because they are ignorant, there is a need to target various categories of people and educate them about the brain.
We also learned that high school students have the capacity to learn and understand many things about the brain if given the necessary opportunities, time, and attention.
