One of the most important challenges of the current scientists is to bring their knowledge, methods, procedures, and results to the society. Education is a main resource that students have to shape their future. So, it is fundamental to create bridges between science and education, through new forms of science divulgation. The objective of this BAW project was to improve students? knowledge about the brain functioning, brain protection, and also how tobecome neuroscientist in Argentina. For that purpose, during Brain Awareness Week (BAW) in March 2018, we visited three secondary schools located in Misiones province: Instituto Roque Gonza´lez (Posadas), Instituto Madre de laMisericordia (Posadas), and Escuela Provincial de Educacion Técnica (E.P.E.T.) N° 50 (Leandro N. Alem). We developed the project through guide questions, group games, sense tests, and a final talk with a total of more than 200 students.We focused on the participation of the students: They were able to experience themselves and many questions arose during the talks, which were very dynamic and varied among the different schools. Children, together with the professors and school directors, enjoyed and took advantage of the opportunity of having neuroscientists in the schools. Teachers repeatedly thanked us for bringing our research and knowledge to very distant provinces like Misiones.This work was supported by grants of SAN (BAW); Transportes Rio Uruguay; E.P.E.T. N° 50 and G. Rosciszewski family.Fil: Rosciszewski, Gerardo Ariel. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas. Oficina de Coordinación Administrativa Houssay.
