Growing Brains

Bringing the science of brain development to children and youth

Growing Brains is a developmental neuroscience outreach program that aims to educate young people about their brain’s development and cognition. The program is led by volunteer Institute of Child Development (ICD) graduate students and serves schools, summer camps, after-school programs, and community groups. Through the program, we hope to inspire children and adolescents to value science and to give them a sense of agency in their own development.
