Following the success of the 'Brain Games' pilot in November 2000,
At-Bristol is running a Brain Games Summer School in July and August 2002.
Pupils from local Bristol schools will spend a week in Explore at-Bristol
learning about how their brains work, and then devising a game which
demonstrates the amazing abilities of their brains. They will use our
exhibition as well as at-Bristol's media and IT education facilities
throughout their time here. Games developers and brain scientists will also
be involved during the week.
The dates are:
Week 1 - 28th June, 1st - 5th July
Week 2 - 19th July, 22nd - 26th July
Week 3 - 19th July, 29th July - 2nd August
Week 4 - 23rd August, 27th - 31st August
In each case the first date is a training day followed by the activity week.
We are looking for keen communicators who would be willing to act as
'mentors' during the week. Although experience of and interest in science
communication is desirable, the ability to motivate students and facilitate
participation is more important than scientific background. We are looking
for mentors who will be paid to work on the project alongside at-Bristol
staff. In your application please indicate whether or not you have
previously had a police check.
If you are interested, please send your CV and state your experience with
young people/communicating science and which dates you would be available.
Closing date: 24th May 2002.
Many thanks
