THINK SMART: Discover Your Amazing Brain & How To Use It Wisely!

BRIGHTHINK HALF TERM CLUB - BRIGHTINKERS Event (Key Stage 3)

Join us on an entertaining and eye-opening journey of discovery as we dive into the weird and wonderful world of YOUR BRAIN.

Traveling way, way back to it’s prehistoric beginnings, and tracing a path right up to the modern-day digital world, we’ll be looking at how your brain evolved, how it works, and how easily it can be fooled!

With fun-facts, mind-bending illusions, and cognitive challenges we’ll show you how your brain isn’t always as smart as it thinks it is - and we’ll also teach you the superpower of CRITICAL THINKING - an essential life skill that helps us navigate the world around us and spot the difference between facts, opinions and lies.

This thought-provoking session is perfect for curious kids (and adults*) encouraging their natural inquisitiveness and giving them the confidence to think for themselves.

Come ready to question everything - and leave a little wiser (and harder to fool!).

*All ages are welcome, but this event is aimed primarily at Key Stage 3, years 7, 8 & 9 (11-14yrs old). All children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
