Stanford Brain Day at the Palo Alto YMCA

For the past 20 years, Stanford Neuroscience students have shared their love for science and the brain with local 7th grade students. Palo Alto Family Y has the rare opportunity to let children ages 6–16 years old experience Brain Day, an annual event in which volunteers from the Stanford School of Medicine Neuroscience program take real human brains to classrooms, sharing an hour-long, hands-on demonstration in which kids get the chance to see and hold human and animal brains, often for the first time.
