"It's All About Science" Annual Festival

The It’s All About Science Festival is an annual celebration and exploration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for children and adults of all ages.

The mission of the festival is to promote a science-centric community by showcasing “all things science” to the Northern Plains communities.

CBBRe members host a booth each year to showcase the brain and highlight some of the more entertaining aspects of neuroscience.  Booth highlights include hands-on activities where community members can touch a preserved sheep brain, create their own homunculus and use their brain to make cat ears move!
