Advanced Bright Lights in the Lab! (For students who have completed grade 10 science)

Move beyond cookie-cutter labs and predictable results! Bright Lights gives students an opportunity to design and perform open-ended real science experiments on behaviour, learning and memory using model invertebrates. Students experience the challenges of research in a science lab with UofT researchers from the Department of Physiology, University of Toronto. Collaborate to discover ways of explaining natural phenomena and participate in journal clubs, brainstorming sessions and perform research as graduate students would!
 
This project is supported by the Firefly Foundation, UTS and the Department of Physiology, University of Toronto.

Scholarship or financial aid is available for Brain Light Summer Campers through Firefly Foundation

  • Through the scholarship program, funded by Fulbright, Bright Lights hope to reach students from communities that are under represented in science (e.g., low socio-economic background, radicalized youth, indigenous youth) and provide them with an enriched learning opportunity as well as opening doors to high education in the sciences.
  • Students needing partial financial aid to help defray the costs of Bright Lights can apply for our financial aid program, funded by the Rotman Graduate Business Counsel Outreach, which hope to providestudents with a passion for learning about neuroscience, but are limited by financial resources to join the camp and experience an enriched learning opportunity as well as opening doors to higher education in the sciences.
