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.

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.
