“The activities planned today were engaging and interactive<br />
which is the style of learning we promote. As the Head of<br />
Year we have explored topics about how the brain works and<br />
behaviours in assembly so this relates nicely to prior work we<br />
have done”<br />
Randeep Sidhu (Head of Year 9)<br />
“I attended a Myriad workshop and besides there being really<br />
great activities, I also learnt so much from it such as how brain<br />
functions, how your mind can trick you and about being risk<br />
takers. My favourite activity was one where you had to put some<br />
headphones on with some really annoying sounds playing and<br />
you had to try and concentrate on numbers that were popping<br />
up on the screen all the time trying to avoid clicking number 3.<br />
This was just one of the ways your brain can trick you just by<br />
hearing some sounds. Additionally, the staff were really helpful<br />
and answered any questions you had and always gave really<br />
great answers so you could understand better. The session lasted<br />
just under two hours and I enjoyed every minute of it as it was<br />
really enjoyable, fun and in some part funny; sometimes you<br />
forgot that you were actually learning. By the end of the session<br />
it really made your brain tick and made you want to learn more<br />
about how your brain functions as a teenager. If there was ever<br />
an event like this again, I would be sure to attend”.<br />
Robert Keeley (year 9)<br />
“Some year 9 students were invited to attend the Myriad<br />
project workshop, which was hosted by researchers from<br />
Oxford University. The aim of the workshop was to educate us<br />
on the teenage brain, the different parts of the brain and their<br />
functions. Before we begun, we were each handed a student<br />
passport in which we recorded the results of our activities. We<br />
participated in numerous tasks which helped us learn how to<br />
overcome distractions, understand decision making, short-term<br />
and long-term rewards and risk taking. Each activity table we<br />
visited was interactive and informative for example the risktaking<br />
test. This consisted of students pumping balloons to<br />
achieve the highest possible circumference without the balloon<br />
bursting. This test in particular proved to be a hit with all<br />
students and brought out the competitive nature in us! Overall,<br />
the workshop was extremely enjoyable and each student walked<br />
away with a new outlook on their lives”.<br />
