meet the most wondrous object in the universe
It’s powerful. It’s mysterious. It’s the most important organ in your body. Whether you’re asleep or awake, your brain governs every breath you take and every move you make. And yet we know so little about how it works.
Welcome to Firefly Foundation, a charitable organization dedicated to helping bright young minds unlock the mysteries of the brain. We offer learning programs that excite and engage young people who love science and have a passion for how the brain works.
meet the neuroscientists!
On November 7th, join us to learn more about how your brain works at Firefly’s first-ever Meet the Neuroscientists event.
The brain is the most powerful and mysterious organ in the body! This event gives aspiring scientists and curious kids an opportunity to participate in fun activities, learn about the work of two neuroscientists, and ask lots of questions.
