A program run by the Office of Science Education, SciLearn uses neuroscience to help undergraduate students thrive at McGill (and beyond!)
To cultivate a culture of neuroscience-informed teaching and learning, we also collaborate with instructors, graduate students and staff across the university.
Opportunities for Undergraduate Students
All undergraduates are invited to participate in SciLearn, learn how their brains work and try out neuroscience-informed learning strategies with us! There are three ways to get involved:
SciLearn
Peer Collaboration
Drop-in daily study sessions for Science courses that are supported by peer mentors, TAs, and course instructors.
SciLearn
Events
Workshops, special lectures, study sessions, and gatherings that explore research on the neuroscience of learning.
SciLearn
Guest Lectures
Lectures on neuroscience-informed strategies for learning and wellbeing, hosted in select Science courses.
Opportunities for Instructors, Graduate Students, and Staff
Discover how you might support student learning using neuroscience! We partner with instructors, graduate students, and staff to integrate the neuroscience of learning into their courses and teaching practice.
