UT Brain Night

 Join The Health Museum in conjunction with UTHealth Neuroscience Research Center for UT Brain Night on Thursday, March 19, 2020, from 5 – 8 p.m., as part of international Brain Awareness Week! This annual event takes place during The Health Museum’s Free Family Thursday and invites kids and families to participate in kid-friendly, interactive activities about neuroscience.

 This event helps to increase awareness of how the brain operates through demonstrations of bike-helmet safety, brain reflexes, eye-hand coordination and comparing the brains of different species. Kids will also get the opportunity to build their own nerve cell with pipe-cleaners, get a face painting of a nerve cell or brain, and touch an actual human brain!
