I'm honoured to have been the coordinator of this year's Brain Day, a program that's part of Parachute Canada. Parachute is a national, charitable organization with a strong aim of reducing injuries that are preventable.
Brain Day is an event where university students visit elementary schools and teach about injury prevention, the brain, and the 5 senses through interactive activities. As the coordinator, I recruited elementary schools and volunteers for the event during UBC's Reading Week. This year, we visited Waverley Elementary, General Wolfe Elementary, and Kerrisdale Elementary. We devote a day at the school where we do the presentation and activities with classes for ~2hours. We delivered Brain Day to a total of 12 classes, which is double the number of last year classes!
