Neuroscience for Schools?

We help children to discover the wonders of neuroscience & how it helps us every day by using simple workshops to explain complex ideas in a way that children & young people can understand & apply. Experience learning.

Can Children Understand Neuroscience?

Meet The Beasts takes neuroscience from inaccessible theory to simple practice in your classroom.

Performing simple tasks shows us how our brains work & how neuroscience affects us each day. When we experience something it becomes accessible & we relate to it. When we understand why & how it happens, we can start to consciously apply it each day to enhance our own life & those around us.

Children are no different. In many ways, they have advantages over adults. Their understanding may not be as advanced as adults, but neither are many of their barriers & habits that hinder learning.

We provide children with simple pictures or illustrations that allow them to understand, in simple terms, how things work together. We focus on communicating at their level so they begin to grasp principles & ideas. As children develop into older students, we continue to relate at their level.

So, children learn about science & scientific principles whilst enjoying themselves & having fun.

Contact Meet The Beasts about how we can bring your science to life for your pupils, students, school & daily life.

Making The Complex Easy

Just because something is complicated does not make it inaccessible.

Stuart, a neuroscientist by training. He is also passionate about making complex things easy so that his audience understands & enjoys what he is teaching. He uses words & practical exercises to convey what he means so that he engages each audience member in a way they understand for themselves. They can then apply that knowledge in their own relevant way.

There is status In knowing the long words & technical details, but there is also great ignorance in that status. Being our best at the expense of others (competition) may be fine for individuals in sport, but in a learning & work environment it is deadly & destructive. It is the shared knowledge which makes our learning valuable & worthwhile, because in shared knowledge the 'whole' benefits, not just one or two individuals.

There is no reason why the wonders of science cannot be made accessible to a wider audience.

This is where Meet The Beasts can help. Read on or get in contact about our practical neuroscience for children activities
