At NeuroKids you can learn the ABC’s of biology and neuroscience with your hosts, Bo Erik and Shennendoah Hollsten.

NeuroKids isn’t your typical website. It was made by us - Bo Erik (age 9) and Shennendoah (age 12).  We love learning about the brain - everybody’s brains - even animal brains!

We have learned that cats can’t taste sweet and that butterflies taste with their feet. Did you know that elephants can’t jump and that an ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain? Do you know which part of your brain helps you spell backward or how to tell if you’re a right-brainer or a left-brainer?   

NeuroKids is an awesome website for kids who love playing games, doing activities, and exploring the world right inside them.  At NeuroKids, we go on exciting field trips and meet famous neuroscientists and authors.        

We have been on VIP tours and gone on field trips to see real animal and human brains. We took neuroscience to our school through Week of the Brain and we’re getting everybody involved so someday kids all across America will have the chance to learn about neuroscience and the brain.

Together, we can go from NeuroKids to NeuroTeens to Neuroscientists and cure the world of Autism,  ADD,  and brain diseases.
