BrainU is a professional workshop designed to update teachers on the latest in neuroscience research and provide curriculum materials for using neuroscience topics in support of the Minnesota Intermediate and Middle level standards.

Modeling an inquiry approach, teachers are exposed to the latest neuroscience findings and design. Participants share curriculum integration strategies, investigate local resources, and receive needed educational materials for their students. Teachers also receive the "Explain Your Brain" assembly and exhibit stations, and use of the BrainTrunk resource kits in their classrooms during the following school year.
