Step into the world of the future with our exciting VR-challenge!

We want to help blind people see again with a brainchip. Put on the VR-goggles and experience what they would experience. Can you, despite your ‘new’ vision, follow the route in the fastest time? The clock is ticking, so give it everything you’ve got to see if your name places highest on the scoreboard.

Cut, stick and make your own cool brainhat!

Learn about the different brain areas, where they are, and what they do. Afterwards we’ll compare your creation to a real human brain! How well do you know your own brain?
