    Neurosciences Program: 
    Our core goal has always been to get campers excited about neuroscientific research and technologies, and we have the resources to maximize remote neuroscience learning experience thanks to Duke University and the technology and access to academic experts it affords. Students will will come together online to discuss interesting facets from topics like sensation, perception, learning, memory, endocrinology, psychopharmacology, and more. Instructors will share lectures in real-time over Zoom, give remote demonstrations, and supplement the curriculum with workshops that can be conducted online and offline.

    The practice of cracking codes involves honing your general problem solving skills - tenacity, perspicacity, creativity, flexibility, and confidence. Students will be able to employ these skills in their future challenges and puzzles that modern life provides for us all! Each day of the program will include live video instruction and discussion as a class, as well as self-paced modules that students will work on independently with support of the staff and their fellow students.
