Butler Elementary School 2004
International  Brain Awareness Week Visit

The Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center hosted fourth graders from the Butler Elementary School in Belmont, MA in observance of the 8th annual International Brain Awareness Week. Ms. Christina Fedolfi's and Ms. Traci Dreher's classes enthusiastically participated at the eight different locations throughout the center where demonstrations and hands-on activities about the brain and behavior took place. Descriptions and pictures of the eight brain- and behavior locations (Brain Station, Chick Development, Genes and Mice, Hearing, Human Brain Waves, Infant Vision, Memory and Taste and Smell) can be viewed using the links at the top of this page and each of the location pages.

We would like to thank Karen Kinnealy, Dr. Marjorie Lees, Dr. Bill McIlvane, Sze-Wah Tse, and Jinghua Zhang, as well as veteran Brain Awareness Week helpers, Jeffrey Baker, Donna Caira, Carol Imposimato, Sarah Luthern (photographer), and John Rochford for volunteering as "tour" guides for the morning. We greatly appreciate their time, effort and energy.
