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.
