Join us to explore the human machine and discover how our brains help us think, move, and learn on February 28th from 1-4 PM at JLG!
About this Event

Join us to explore the human machine and discover how your brain works, adapts, and keeps you going. From forming new connections to learning and creating, our brains are constantly changing and responding to the world around us.


Through hands on activities and interactive demonstrations, discover the amazing systems that help your brain think, move, and grow stronger over time. Families and community groups are invited to explore the power and complexity of the brain together.


This month’s theme, The Human Machine, highlights how our brains function as dynamic systems that help us learn, adapt, and thrive. Don’t miss this exciting event.
