Dev Neuro Academy

And that’s a wrap on DNA CREATE 2025🎉🥳

Check out some of the amazing projects produced by the students this week.

We have a full house this afternoon at the Science Gallery!

Flash presentations have started where the students have the opportunity to present a brief description about their project and the work leading up to it⚡️⚡️⚡️

Sneak peek of the exhibition happening today👀🤞

Happy Friday and Day 4 of DNA CREATE!!!

Today the students will be presenting their projects at the Science Gallery 🖼️🥼

Day 3 has been busy, busy, busy!!!

Students are focused working on their group projects! Excited for the exhibition tomorrow

Now for some co-lab project development time!!!

After lunch, we are taking some time do some reflection 💭💭💭

Check out some of our students in action!

Good morning and happy Wednesday from the DNA Create team!

Today’s morning session is all about brains (literally) 🧠

Our students are diving into neuroanatomy and getting a firsthand look at neuroscience research, thanks to our incredible researchers at @devneuro.bsky.social 🤞🤞🤞

We wrapped up the day with some much needed reflection to gather our thoughts and project time where the students met their teammates and tutors! And that was day 1 at DNA CREATE ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Finally, we looked at behaviour via our judgement of time, how well can you time 60 seconds in your head?

We explored the concept of signalling by translating one creative medium into another ... ever wondered how to translate a song into a drawing into a story and then into a sculpture?!

We created our own cells in a dish using bubble cell prints. The resulting ink bubble mountains form patterns that approximate the organisation of an organoid

We looked at how blowing ink on paper gave rise to a similar branching exhibited in neurons. Look at these creations!

After, we had our 'Neurocarousel' session where we explored creatively 4 themes of neuroscience:

- Branching & Patterning
- Growth, maintenance & decay
- Behaviour & Interactions
- Signals

The afternoon session has started with introductions to our project groups and creating our group mascots! 🦋

Day 1 of DNA CREATE is off to a great start!

We started the morning with some introductions, ice breakers and reflection as we created our own self portraits🙌

Just a few days to go until this year’s edition of Dev Neuro Academy begins!

We’re proud to introduce Dev Neuro Academy: CREATE - where creativity meets discovery.

This year, we are welcoming 40 students from across London to take part in a unique program designed to spark exploration.
