NeuroSnap – Synapse Puzzle: Educator's Kit

NeuroSnap Educator Kit

Bring neuron-to-neuron communication to life — for your whole class.

The NeuroSnap Educator Kit expands our original NeuroSnap puzzle into a complete classroom-ready neuroscience experience. Students physically build four interconnected neurons, place them on a 2×3 ft teaching mat, and explore how signals travel across synapses using guided activities and educator scripts. Perfect for teachers, clubs, and science outreach.

NOTE: We are at the Society for Neuroscience Conference! Orders placed during SFN (Nov 16-24) will ship by the week of Dec 1. Thank you for supporting small-batch science kits!

Learn & Lead:

• Teach real neuroscience using hands-on, interactive models.
• Build four full neuron puzzles and arrange them on the included teaching mat to show how signals flow through a network.
• Use the durable info cards and magnetic labels to walk students through structure, function, and key concepts.
• Follow the included educator guide + script — which can scale from a 5–10 minute live demo (great for festivals and outreach tables) to a 20–40 minute classroom lesson.

What’s Inside:

• 4 durable, resin-coated, NeuroSnap puzzles (each representing a synapse connecting two neurons)
• 2 full sets of info cards (structure • fun fact • superpower)
• 2 sets of card holders for display during instruction or stations
• 1 large 2×3 ft classroom mat showing how four neurons connect and communicate
• Magnetic labels for all major neuron and synapse components
• Educator instructions + scripted walkthrough for multiple lesson lengths

Key Features:

• Excite students about science through discovering about how the brain works
• Builds conceptual understanding of synapses, neurotransmitters, and neural pathways
• Classroom-durable materials
• Designed to support both individual and group learning
• Ideal for grades 5–8, after-school programs, festivals, and community outreach
