The Teenage Brain
The Teenage Brain resources were first used as part of an interactive, face-to-face workshop for young people.
Informed by the latest research into the mysterious working of the adolescent brain, the activities are designed to spark debate and discussion between young people, peers, teachers and families alike, and help people learn more about how the brain works.
We have adapted the original workshop into activities to try in a school, a club, or at home, for audiences aged 9+. These are all available to download and include:
- Worksheets to support the running of an activity
- Additional resources: further reading, wordsearch, crossword etc
- Information sheets
- Instructions on how to use these resources
The activities introduce several tools that are used in real-life research and were used by researchers on the MYRIAD project. We hope that they will inspire an interest in science amongst young people and help them to look deeper into the mysterious workings of the teenage brain.
