About the Competition

Help us foster a passion for science & creativity by sponsoring our Mind’s Eye Student Art Competition, a collaboration between the TReNDS Center & Drew charter school.

Hosted by the TReNDS Center

The Tri-institutional Center for Translational Research in Neuroimaging & Data Science conducts cutting-edge research to diagnose, track, and treat neurological disease and disorders, and understand how the healthy brain works. Working as part of a National Science Foundation sponsored Center for Excellence in Science & Technology (CREST), one of our missions is to increase scientific literacy, particularly in under-served & marginalized groups, to make neuroscience an inclusive field. This starts in the classroom by making science fun & accessible.

Drew Charter School

Drew is a project-based learning environment located in the heart of East Lake and serves ethnically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse students. They are committed to an educational emphasis on removing economic and social barriers so that each child reaches their full potential.

About the Competition

At our center, we look at pictures of the brain to visualize how parts of the brain look, act, and talk to one another. Take a look at some of our brain pictures (neuro-images) from our research and use your mind’s eye to create your own interpretation of our science or a neuro-image.

The competition will run from March 25th until April 15th. Date of winner announcement is to be decided.
