Brave Young Minds

Come to Brave Young Minds, a mini-festival for kids where art and science come together! Discover a world full of interactive booths and engaging activities.

At Simone Vogelaar's VR booth, children will learn all about stress and how to deal with it, complete with fun stress games. Elizabeth Buimer's BrainTrain booth offers exciting activities such as feeling brains (with speculoos), a quiz, and the rubber hand illusion. Dive into the world of anxiety and stress with the KAS Academy 4U. Discover the secrets of the brain, facts and fables about anxiety and stress, and experience the magical power of thoughts with a hypnotic exercise.

At Brave Young Minds, learning is key, but fun even more so! Don't miss out and be amazed by optical illusions, skittles experiments, eye-tracking artwork and much more. Be there and be inspired!

The festival will be held at the Rijksmuseum Boerhaave and is organized in collaboration with Leiden University and Days of Art & Science.
