During the evening\, we will unveil an exciting new program\, designed especially for middle and high school students\, in our iconic Cranium Connection exhibit. \n\n\n\nCelebrate with a lively silent auction\, a signature cocktail\, and an exclusive first look at the newly enhanced Cranium Connection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n35 Years of Healthy Minds & Healthy Bodies\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn About Our Impact\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning Committee\n\n\n\nMegan Lumley\, Co-ChairScott Manning\, Co-ChairAnn Rollins\, Executive DirectorJennifer GradyAbigail QuesinberryHeather ReynoldsJennifer Bell\, StaffKim Whitley\, Staff \n\n\n\nSilent Auction Committee\n\n\n\nLauren DicksonTracey FisherJennifer GradyCallie Hammer\, Staff \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Cranium Connection\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen visitors enter the Poe Center\, they are immediately greeted by the Poe Center’s iconic Cranium Connection exhibit\, a 12-foot-tall head in the center of the lobby. Introduced in 2002\, this immersive “brain theater” invites children to enter behind the ear and step into a cave-like space in which their “head voice” demonstrates how the brain works. \n\n\n\nThanks to the generous support of Diana and Betsy Mead of the Mead Family Foundation\, the Poe Center is introducing a second brain-science program designed specifically for middle and high-school students. “Cranium Connection: Part 2” follows teenagers through various scenarios\, demonstrating how everyday choices influence brain development and empowering them to take charge of their mental well-being. Projection-mapping technology illuminates different regions of the brain as various activities engage them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExplore the Cranium Connection\n\n\n\nExplore the Cranium Connection now with the augmented-reality version. \n\n\n\n\nLearn More\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBecome a Sponsor\n\n\n\nInterested in becoming a sponsor?
