The goal of Making Neuroscience Fun (MNF), a community outreach program, is to educate Baltimore city and county elementary school students, on how to achieve good mental health by focusing on the role the brain plays in our Social, Physical, Emotional and Cognitive (SPEC) health. The MNF- Brain Health: It’s SPECtacular program focuses on using scientific research as the foundation for developing information about mental health and relaying the information in an age-appropriate manner. The elementary school students (pre-K through 5th grade) learn about their brain and how to keep it healthy and our students learn valuable communication skills. Hopkins students will receive initial training and certification on content & presenting skills prior to participating and will then be part of the new launch of the program. In order to participate, students must be available either 7am-11am or 11am-3pm at least one day per week, Monday-Friday. Students MUST attend a mandatory orientation and a mandatory exit session held on the Homewood campus (see section web notes for days/times of the orientation/exit sessions). Transportation to the schools will be via student carpools using Zipcars or personal vehicles. No credit - S/U Grading Only
