This four day in-person workshop will support educators in developing inquiry-based educational activities (ranging in scale from short single-class activities to CURE courses) that integrate Allen Institute’s open science data into their undergraduate neuroscience courses.

Participants will learn about publicly available datasets that require no, low/medium, or high coding experience from the Allen Institute for Brain Science and Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics. Then participants will work together in groups and use a structured backwards design process to design activities that meet their shared learning objectives. Workshop attendees will additionally work together to design both formative and summative assessments for students, an assessment plan for measuring the success of the activity and plans for sharing the activity and outcomes.
