Fall 2025: IPE Project and Fun with Cognitive Tasks
Potential Project Topic Ideas: Project will be finalized during initial meeting with Katie A.
1.Create a new youth “Activity” sheet of games/activities for elementary students and one for middle school students. Similar to a previous project but needs a refresh. OR 2. Make the “Save Your Brain” presentation content into a game presentation. Right now it is a scripted presentation and a presentation as a game may be more fun for middle school students. OR 3. Develop arts and craft projects for the BIA-MO One-Day Regional Outdoor Camp for survivors. This would include research low-cost arts and crafts, developing the instructions, material list, and budget. Similar to a previous project but needs a refresh.
PLEASE NOTE: Students should discuss opportunities for site visits to engage with community members at their initial meeting with Katie. If you have questions, discuss with Maureen after the initial site visit.
One opportunity for the students to work directly with survivors of brain injury: Survivor and Family Seminar – Eastern Missouri on Saturday, November 8 from 8:00 am – 3:30 pm (set-up 7:00 am – 4:00 pm take down) at SSM Health St. Clare Hospital in Fenton.
