The Tulane Science Scholars Program (TSSP) is a selective program for high school students who have exceptional talent in the sciences and mathematics. For-credit summer and non-credit Saturday academic year classes are offered by faculty members and graduate students who are passionate about sharing their subject area. Brain Institute faculty offer an Introduction to Neuroscience course. Tulane's K-12 Education Program received a 2018 Inspiring Programs in STEM Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. Read more about it here.
Tulane's GIST Program provides fifth through eighth grade girls with the opportunities to meet and work with women role models in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Brain Institute faculty and students lead an "Exploring Your Brain" workshop, during which girls conduct neuroscience experiments and learn neuroanatomy through hands-on activities with brains.
Tulane's BATS Program provides fifth through eighth grade boys with the opportunities to meet and work with both male and female role models in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. TUNA members lead an "Exploring Your Brain" workshop, during which boys conduct neuroscience experiments and learn neuroanatomy through hands-on activities with brains. They also staffed a welcome table in the beginning of the day to share their enthusiasm for neuroscience with the boys.
