Bloomin' Brains Summer Camp

The Bloomin' Brains Summer Camp will not be held in 2021.

Are you a middle school student interested in a summer "deep dive" into neuroscience and botany? If so, then the Sowing the Seeds of Neuroscience free and awesome summer day camp is for you!

Spend a week in at UW working with scientists, teachers, and specialists to explore, experiment, and discover! Parents are responsible for providing transportation to and from campus and for providing sack lunches. Campers will have the opportunity to:

Conduct hands-on science experiments
Learn about uses of medicinal plants in Native cultures
Explore the structure and function of the brain
Enjoy field trips to the Burke Museum, Botany Greenhouse, Medicinal Herb Garden, the Hyde Herbarium, and UW Farm
Listen to real scientists talk about their careers
Discover "the art of the brain" by constructing models
Make a plant extract and tie-dye a shirt

Discover how much fun science can be!

This is a free summer camp funded by an NIH grant examining effective science education. Camp is open to ALL students.
