Scientists in Schools
Social workers and scientists in schools (SWSS)
SWSS is a unique volunteer program for social workers and neuroscientists. Social workers and neuroscientists are trained to deliver a science-based program for middle school youth that provides instruction on the neurobiological foundations of human behavior. Through project-based learning, middle schoolers engage in activities that increase their understanding of fluid intelligence, resilience, and self-efficacy.
