BRL Junior Research Day

A combination research and public engagement event for kids (ages 14-16) in the LSE Behavioural Research Lab.

The LSE Behavioural Research Lab is a purpose-built facility designed for the use of researchers examining behaviour. For the first time ever, we are inviting young people [ages 10-16] to visit. Each 2-hour session includes:

A behind-the-scenes tour of the lab

An informal tour of the LSE campus, with current students to tell you what it is like to study here

Have your heart rate measured and learn about how that helps researchers learn more about what you think

Take part in two research studies (playing games and answering questions)

Hear talks by two researchers about what they do and why it matters

Tea and coffee for the parents, snacks, and a thank-you gift

This is a great chance for you to learn more about scientific research in a university, see the campus, meet current students, and have fun… while helping us learn more about how young people think and act.
