In collaboration with other scientists and teachers we have developed a teaching kit, and at the university's former Science Education Hub there are even more materials and activities.
There are several options to educate children about our research.
Donders Teaching Kit
The Donders Teaching kit is a non-profit project set up by Donders researchers that aims to educate children about neuroscience, and inform primary school teachers about how children can use this knowledge to improve their ability to learn.
Here is an overview all activities at the former Science Education Hub Radboud University in which scientists of the Donders Institute are involved.
