## About

A family science day about the brain and nervous system. Children explore optical illusions that show how the brain interprets what we see, take on puzzles and brain teasers, make their own foam brain hat, and test strategy and problem-solving at a board game challenge run by Board Game Barrister. Researchers from the SNAP Lab at the Medical College of Wisconsin and The Brain Center are on hand to explain how the brain works and share current neuroscience research.
