NEUROSCIENCE FOR NEURODIVERSE LEARNERS SUMMER CAMP
The DO-IT Center and Center for Neurotechnology (CNT) at the University of Washington is sponsoring a free, ten-day program for neurodiverse students during the summer of 2022 (August 8-19, 2022). The program is open to high school sophomores, juniors, or seniors who are citizens and permanent residents of the United States and its possessions who identify as neurodiverse learners. I will serve as the education director of this camp. Students will learn about neuroscience, neural engineering, neuroethics, scientific communication and research in CNT laboratories. The goal is to expose students to the field of neural engineering and provide basic preparation for college studies in STEM subjects and future STEM careers. Applications for the summer program are now being accepted at:

neurodiverse learner is defined as "those with academic challenges related to conditions such as dyspraxia, dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyscalculia, autism spectrum disorder, and Tourette syndrome."
