BrainFest with Allen Institute

Join us for the second annual BrainFest, a day of brainy fun for all ages at PacSci. Explore hands-on activities, meet Allen Institute scientists and collaborators, learn about cutting-edge neuroscience research, and even touch a real brain!

Featured activities include:

• Look at real mouse and human brain samples under a microscope
• Listen in on the electricity in your own nervous system
• Play games to explore how the brain develops across childhood
• Investigate the shapes of real brain cells and make your own pipe cleaner model to take home
• Compare different animal brains – including a T. Rex brain cast!
• Learn about Alzheimer’s disease and other conditions with real human brains from the UW Biorepository
• Meet neuroscientists from the Allen Institute and other local institutions
