Northwestern Neuroscience Camp
For high school juniors and seniors
Northwestern College offers an annual neuroscience camp for high school juniors and seniors from across the U.S. who are interested in learning more about the brain and nervous system. Participants stay on Northwestern’s campus for one week in June and participate in mini-lectures, demonstrations and hands-on experiments designed to teach them about the brain, nervous system and career opportunities in neuroscience.
Campers participate in electrophysiology and neuropharmacology experiments. They dissect a sheep brain, use computer simulation to dissect a human brain, and record the electrical activity of their own brains. Northwestern Neuroscience Camp also includes a field trip to the University of South Dakota’s Sanford School of Medicine to visit the gross anatomy (cadaver) lab and active neuroscience research labs.
“Neuroscience at the Movies” and various recreational activities are planned for campers’ evenings.
Contact Dr. Ralph Davis, director, at redavis@nwciowa.edu to be on a mailing list for further information.
