DHS psychology teachers thought up a creative way to help students learn the “map” of the brain. Teams of two mapped out centers of learning and brain function onto swim caps, thereby creating a 3D brain map. Tactile learning of this type helps our brains remember better. The caps were donated to DEF by Dynamo Swim Club.
Ainura Johnson carefully identifies the parts of the brain with helper Emilia Fuentes.
