Developing Open Neuroscience Teaching Tools

Undergraduate neuroscience educators will design inquiry-based activities using Allen Institute single-cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets, including whole-brain atlases, developing and aging mouse brain data, human Alzheimer’s disease data and basal-ganglia datasets. Groups will use backward design to connect learning objectives, activities and assessments. Four days in Seattle are followed by monthly facilitated meetings in the 2027–28 academic year. The programme is restricted to applicants needing financial travel assistance; self-funded and institutionally or corporately sponsored attendees are ineligible. Flight and hotel support is capped at $2,000 and domestic US travel; international flights and visa sponsorship are unavailable.
