A Capstone Course Where Students Present Contemporary Neuroscience Research to High School Students

This article describes a model of a neuroscience capstone course where students choose and study contemporary neuroscience research articles in depth and then present them to high school students in short videos. This course can provide a meaningful culminating experience where students are applying their neuroscience knowledge and communication skills acquired from their undergraduate education. As students take on the ownership of learning and presenting diverse neuroscience topics, this course can be run flexibly and remotely as needed. Developing a partnership with a local high school is an important aspect of this course.
