Let's learn about the brain while taking care of it!
In order to offer students a safe and stimulating environment our Labs have moved online. With a continued focus on neuroscience and understanding the brain, we will offer students the opportunity to develop their lab skills through the use of a virtual animal model, to learn about lab design and experimentation.
Our Explorers (Grade 7, 8, 9) will develop their lab techniques, to develop an appreciation for the research process and develop critical thinking and design skills for a greater understanding of how science is applied.
Campers will have the opportunity to work with a university-level neuroscience software to design their project. They will be co-learning neuroscience concepts, conducting experiments, participating in brain training games in breakout rooms to further extend their learning. In addition to our daily programming, students will also be learning about the impact of mindfulness techniques and find ones that they can incorporate into their daily routine.

Since 2014 we have been proud to offer students who have unlimited curiosity about neuroscience, but limited financial resources, the opportunity to attend Bright Lights in the Lab. Firefly Fellows receive a fully funded scholarship that covers camp tuition.
