Bamboozling Brains Placemats
Have you ever been bamboozled as to why your brain reacts differently in different places? We may live in the same world and visit the same places but we each have many different experiences. For some the sporting event stadium is a place of great energy and joy, for others it may be scary and a sensory overload.
This set of resources is designed to spark reflections and conversations around how our brains and bodies react in different environments. By understanding how the environment impacts our thinking, feeling and behaviour, we can better understand ourselves and each other. Ultimately, having these conversations may help promote the development of more inclusive design and practice.
The set includes images of 5 scenes and is designed to be used with our Brainy Cards ( sold separately with Brainy Box).
