smiley TalentEd Amazing Brain Workshop
21 June 2008
‘The Amazing Brain Workshop’ assists students to better understand the complex process of learning, and in particular, to increase their sense of control over their learning performance. Each student gets to dissect a real brain (from a sheep!), build models, engage in higher-order thinking activities and play games that demonstrate key brain processes. This is one of the most memorable programs any student will ever have!
