About Us
As a Brain Waves Volunteer
Brain Waves Edmonton is a Student Group founded by Students at the U of A. Here at Brain Waves Edmonton, we are passionate about educating children and youth about the brain and nervous system to inform children on how to best prevent brain injury. These prevention messages are designed to help kids think first, stay active, be healthy, and stay safe. All this is packed into a fun and interactive educational program targeting children in elementary classrooms and hospitals. Are you ready to join us and make this an impactful learning experience for the children?

The In Class Room Experience
Interactive and fun for kids Grades 4 to 6. Through engaging activities and discussions, we help kids understand the importance of brain injury prevention while fostering a lifelong commitment to brain health. Join us on a journey of learning right in their own classrooms!
Interactive Activites
Interactive activities are at the heart of our educational approach. We believe that learning is most effective when it's hands-on and engaging. Our innovative curriculum focuses on the five senses, guiding students through exciting activities that bring these senses to life. From exploring touch perception to conducting taste experiments on different parts of the tongue, and understanding the secrets of vision through photoreceptors. Our interactive activities not only educate but also spark fun and help the kids gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the human brain.
Volunteer
Here at BrainWaves, we understand the importance of supplying our dedicated volunteers with the tools they need to make this learning experience both enjoyable and informative. That's why we provide our volunteers with all the necessary materials to facilitate engaging and hands-on teaching experiences. From brain-shaped Jello moulds, resources for our 5 senses activities, and informative booklet handouts designed for both teachers and kids – we ensure that you have everything you need to make this educational journey successful!
