Explore the Wonders of the Mind!

The University of Notre Dame’s Neuroscience and Behavior (NSBH) major, in partnership with Self-Healing Communities Collective of Greater Michiana, has an annual Brain Awareness Fair each spring. Dedicated to promoting STEM education in the Michiana community, our event is inspired by the Dana Foundation’s global celebration of Brain Awareness Week.

Hands-On Activities for All Ages

Our team of Brain Ambassadors and NSBH student volunteers host a FREE community event, to share the importance of brain health and emotional wellbeing. Think of it as a pop-up science museum! The fair features dozens of interactive, hands-on activities designed to spark curiosity and foster a lifelong enthusiasm for neuroscience.
