Students gain hands-on experience with college-level neuroscience topics and laboratory techniques, taught by university faculty in an actual research setting.
The Neuroscience Boot Camp at Georgia State University offers high school students an immersive, college-level introduction to neuroscience. Participants engage in hands-on activities, lectures, and discussions covering topics such as neurons, neurotransmission, brain anatomy, learning, memory, sensory and motor systems, and neurological diseases. The program includes a two-day lab exercise where students utilize current laboratory techniques and design their own experiments. Taught by Georgia State University faculty, post-doctoral researchers, and graduate/undergraduate teaching assistants, students gain valuable insights from experts in the field. Each student receives a digital textbook, neuroscience-related mementos, and a course certificate, fostering a deeper understanding of the nervous system and preparing them for future science-related academic endeavors.
In-person courses run Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM – 3:45 PM EDT, involving a mix of lectures, discussions, and hands-on lab exercises.
This camp is ideal for high school students aged 16 and older who are motivated, enjoy science, and are curious about the structure and function of the nervous system.
