4 week student-led kids workshop
Brain Explorer Missions
Each week is a 40-minute mission. Kids learn a little, try something hands-on, play a game, and end with a small reflection.

Meet Your Brain
Kids learn the major brain lobes by clicking, acting, drawing, and matching real-life actions to different brain parts.
5 min warm-up10 min brain map15 min create/play10 min reflection
01Where Am I?
Use the clickable brain map. Kids hear examples like seeing a rainbow or hearing music and pick the brain area.
02Brain Superhero Factory
Draw one lobe as a superhero: Captain Frontal, Vision Hero, Sound Detective, or Sensation Explorer.
03Brain Relay Game
The leader reads a real-life scene. Kids hold up the lobe card and explain why they chose it.
04My Brain Today
Kids finish: “Today my ____ lobe helped me when I ____.” Drawing is allowed.

Memory Lab
Kids become memory detectives and test how grouping, pictures, places, and practice help the brain remember.

01Mystery Tray Challenge
Show 12–15 objects for 30 seconds, hide them, and let kids write or draw what they remember.
02Chunking Magic
Compare a long number with groups like 483 — 927 — 561. Kids feel the difference quickly.
03Memory Palace Drawing
Kids draw a house or school and place objects in different rooms to remember them in order.
04Detective Picture Quiz
Use picture clues instead of word-only questions. Hints guide thinking but do not give the answer.

Focus, Sleep & Screens
Kids test focus and learn why sleep, breaks, water, movement, and fewer distractions help the brain learn.
5 min check-in10 min focus game15 min experiment10 min habit plan
01Spot-the-Difference Focus Game
Kids compare two pictures and find small changes, then repeat with a distraction.
02Distraction Experiment
Try a short puzzle with background noise, then again quietly. Compare how the brain felt.
03Sleep Scientist Flow
Arrange cards: Learn → Sleep → Brain organizes → Memory saved. Keep it visual and simple.
