CamBRAIN
Visitors will be able to handle and dismantle life size brain models into their component parts and explore how all of the different parts connect using a 3-D brain app. Visitors can create a model of a neuron using different coloured pipe cleaners and/or play dough. Once, you have made a neuron, now see a real one! Using a microscope connected to a phone, our visitors will be able to view (pre prepared) slides which include sections of a human brain. Visitors can view different brain regions as well as close up images of individual neurons. Finally, design your own brain hat to take home with you along with all your brain facts!
