Neuroscience Workshops for Fifth-Grade School Children by Undergraduate Students: A University–School Partnership

We acknowledge the contribution of Loyola Marymount University students Jesse Maddex, Ana Ceci Mel, Aracely Mirón, and Heather Steffani during the planning, data collection, and analysis phases of this study. We are especially appreciative of the commitment to the project by school principals, teachers, and program directors. Most importantly, we extend a special thank you to the children who made this such a fun and rewarding experience. Portions of this article were presented at the Stanford Undergraduate Research Conference in May 2004 and at the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, CA, in October 2004.
