Scouts Night

Scouts enjoying the Giant Jenga Challenge developed by Emma Dalton.

We hold an annual Scouts Night where we invite local Cub and Scout groups to play games and become neuroscientists for the evening.

Scout and Cub groups are invited to the Hadyn Ellis Building to spend the evening learning about the human brain and the research carried out by our scientists.

Scouts and Cubs put their skills to the test engaging in science challenges. Games include everything from Giant Brain Jenga to Stroop Racing, some of the annual Brain Games’ most popular activities.

We also offer a tour of the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre's (CUBRIC) mock MRI scanner. CUBRIC Kids do a fantastic job of making the experience of having an MRI scan as a child super exciting, offering an opportunity to take part in their study and take home a picture of your brain.
