Ed Tech for change
Nature & Neuroscience
An educational resource inspired by an expedition to Antarctica with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions.
About the pRoject
Utilizing portable EEG technology during a two-week expedition with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions in Antarctica, a series of four lessons were developed to learn how the polar landscape impacted brain activity and to encourage students to likewise create their own brain study. By understanding the correlation between nature and the mind and fostering a deeper connection with the natural world, students can be inspired to care more profoundly about our planet.

Democratizing Neuroscience Research
When students have access to EEG headsets and can visualize their brain waves in real-time, it revolutionizes their engagement with neuroscience. Suddenly, what was once an abstract concept becomes tangible and accessible. This experience sparks curiosity and ignites a passion for understanding the inner workings of the brain.
By providing access to technology traditionally restricted to academia, students are empowered to explore and participate in neuroscience research regardless of their academic background. By breaking down barriers and making neuroscience accessible, EEG technology transforms students into active participants in the scientific process, fostering a generation of curious and informed minds.
