The program offers a unique opportunity for high school students from underrepresented backgrounds to gain hands-on neuroscience experience and mentorship within a leading university setting.
The Go4Brains Neuroscience Program is a week-long immersive experience at the University of Minnesota designed for high school students, particularly those from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM. The program aims to increase awareness of neuroscience careers and provide foundational skills in the field. Participants engage in a variety of learning activities, including short lectures, career skills workshops, and hands-on experiments. Students will have the opportunity to tour research laboratories, learn about brain research, and make valuable connections with faculty and students. A key component of the program is a mentoring initiative that pairs students with faculty members for guidance and support. Activities have included holding a human brain, getting an EEG scan, and exploring human anatomy in virtual reality. The program emphasizes practical information for pursuing and succeeding in a neuroscience career.
A typical day involves attending short lectures, participating in career skills workshops, conducting experiments, and touring research laboratories.
This program is ideal for talented, motivated high school students in 9th, 10th, and 11th grades who are curious about neuroscience and interested in exploring related career paths, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM.
