From July 26 - 29, 2027, Learning & the Brain is offering a Summer Institute on the campus of Boston University.
How can we design lessons that truly captivate students, sustain their focus, and build lasting knowledge? Join us for a dynamic, hands-on institute where you'll explore the latest brain research and transform the way you teach.
Over the course of a week, we’ll study and build three essential pillars of learning: schema theory, attention, and memory.
Join us this summer and reimagine how learning happens! This institute is hands-on and is limited to 50 participants.
