Birkbeck Main Building, Malet Street
No booking required
Bright Sparks is a new event run by members of the Centre for Educational Neuroscience in London. Children are invited to visit Birkbeck during May half-term, to find out more about the brain, while also taking part in real research.
Researchers from Birkbeck, University College London, and the Institute of Education have put together an exciting programme of research activities. These will help us find out more about how we learn, and what things might influence our learning. In May, the researchers will be exploring subjects such as creative thinking, analogies, spatial language, and maths.
The activities will be a mixture of computer-based tasks, quizzes and interactive games, and each will take between 15 and 30 minutes to complete. When children are not involved in testing, there are plenty of fun opportunities for them to learn more about the brain, through crafts, puzzles, and games in 'The Hub'. At the end of the session, children will take home a small goody-bag.
This is free to attend. Parents don't need to stay, and will be able to make the most of their free time.
