An intensive neuroscience course taught by PhD students from world-renowned universities like MIT, Harvard, Columbia, and UCL. Open to students aged 16 and up, hosted in Prishtina, Kosovo.
The course runs over 5 days, with students ranging from 16 and up. The itinerary is written so that the teaching is adjusted based on the students' needs. These topics range from brain areas and their function, different cell types and their purpose, how the brain communicates, to artificial intelligence. Each year the schedule is slightly different but with the core topics always present.
The culmination of BrainCamp is always on the last day, which we dedicate to our quiz. The first part consists of true/false questions, multiple choice questions, or open-ended questions designed by the teachers. During the second part, students have the chance to come up with their own research question and give a presentation to the whole cohort. They are judged by their teachers on different categories like: relevance of the question, methods of research, hypothesis, and implications. The winners receive a BrainCamp trophy and eternal bragging rights.
