CPIN High School Outreach Program: NeuroSci 101 - Call for Volunteer Lecturers
NeuroSci 101 (http://www.neuroscience.utoronto.ca/events/course.htm) is a neuroscience course for high-school students and an integral component of the outreach program organized by the CPIN since 2010. The course has been instrumental in successfully introducing neuroscience concepts to young minds in an accessible manner, as well as preparing participants for the Toronto Brain Bee competition (http://www.neuroscience.utoronto.ca/events/brainbee.htm). Over the years, the contribution of CPIN student and postdoctoral members has been critical to the success and acclaim that the neuroscience course has achieved.
For this academic year (2020-21), NeuroSci 101 will run virtually from October 26th, 2020 to March 22nd, 2021. The series will cover 12 lectures plus 2 review sessions (http://www.neuroscience.utoronto.ca/events/course.htm).Volunteer teachers will gain valuable teaching skills by designing and delivering an interactive lecture to high-school students in an area related to their research interests.
