Gain a better understanding of how the body responds to stress and leave with practical tools for everyday self-care. In the laboratory, the workshop “La démarche scientifique : La science des émotions” begins with a discussion about emotions, their role and how to manage them, followed by an exploration of the brain, neurons and synapses. Working in teams, participants build an electrical circuit and carry out a chemical reaction illustrating the mechanisms behind emotions in the brain. For everyone ages 6 and up.
