March is Brain Awareness Month. Bright minds and their families are invited to spend a Saturday hanging out with Vanderbilt brain scientists at Brain Blast 2024.
The event, open to K–8 students and their families, will be Saturday, March 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the downtown Nashville Public Library branch at 615 Church St. Free parking will be available for the first 90 minutes.
Participants will have the opportunity to build a neuron, touch a real brain, meet some creepy-crawly lab critters, and more.
Brain Blast is sponsored by the Vanderbilt Brain Institute and Nashville Public Library.
