Inspired by Brain Awareness Week, Enrichment in the Spring's main theme is the brain and human mind. We will explore memory and emotion and all the functions of our amazing and complex brains with keynote and lunchtime lectures on neuroscience, language, 3D visualizations of the brain, mind games, a multimedia musical performance, movies and much more.

Enrichment in the Spring will also feature community events for every age and interest, including musical performances and exhibitions.
