Course Description

Neurodivergent friendly! Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside your head? In Brain Detectives, students will explore the mysteries of the mind and learn how the brain helps us think, feel, and make decisions. Through creative detective-themed challenges, memory games, logic puzzles, and interactive “case files,” students will uncover the secrets of how thoughts form, why we sometimes forget things, and how emotions and logic work together. Each class invites learners to think like detectives—observing clues, testing ideas, and discovering how their brain was uniquely and wonderfully made by God. Students will learn “thinking skills” they can use in daily life—like calming an anxious brain, solving tricky problems, and understanding how God designed our minds to be both curious and wise. This class is open to all learning styles, including neurodivergent learners!
