BrainsRule! 2025 took place on April 10th, where we welcomed 160 students from three schools in Southeast Michigan: Academy of the Americas (Detroit), Dossin Elementary-Middle School (Detroit), and Erickson Elementary School (Ypsilanti). Dr. Shelly Flagel kicked off the day with inspiring words to our future scientists before they were guided through hands-on activities exploring the brain—including special booths from our otolaryngology partners that showed how we hear.
Thanks to our sponsors for their continued support and to the many volunteers who made the day possible. A special thank you to the future scientists who joined us! As one of our executive committee members put it, "One student walked away saying, ‘Anyone can be a scientist’—and that’s exactly what BrainsRule! is all about."
