DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE WORKSHOP FROM OUR WEBSITE Who are you? Why are you considering this workshop? What are you thinking right now? And what exactly are thoughts anyways?! Just like the ancient rabbis, modern behavioral scientists ask questions about the human mind every day, and use human subjects research to answer all sorts of questions about how people think, learn, and make decisions! But what exactly is a human subjects research experiment? And how do we conduct research on the human mind without becoming mad evil scientists? In this workshop, campers will learn about the different types of experiments scientists use to understand the mind and the brain! We're going to design our own human behavior experiments and see what we can learn about our camp community and our friends! Campers will become authentic researchers by analyzing the data from their own experiments.
We're even going to practice the ancient Jewish art of peer review! This summer, explore the world, wielding nothing but the scientific method, and become an adventurer of cognitively epic proportions.
Bravely dive deep into the most mysterious depths of all our minds! We're so PSYCHED to see you in this special-edition workshop! ABOUT SCI-TECH At the Union for Reform Judaism's 6 Points Sci-Tech Academy, scientific inquiry meets fun! Campers entering grades 4-11 spend two weeks exploring robotics, video game design, environmental science, digital media, and a host of other fun activities in a friendly setting with campers who share similar interests.
