We have run workshops for students, but now it’s time for the teachers!In collaboration with the great folks at the SquareOne Education Network, we are hosting a teacher workshop on March 23rd, 2011 whereby, if you are a teacher within driving distance of the greater Detroit area, you can spend a day building your own SpikerBox amplifier and running experiments to take back to your classroom. You will also gain a wealth (the greatest wealth) of knowledge on how to do easy neuroscience with your students. This is our first teacher workshop, help us help you! Sign up is $25 and includes all the gear, materials, and lunch. To apply, fill out the very brief application here and send to Barb Land at SquareOne! Space is limited (20 max).
