š§ High school students completed their "Brain Projects" in their Intro to Psychology class! Students chose an interesting list of characters/celebrities` brains to analyze, including Joe Goldberg ("You"), Joker (Heath Ledger`s version), Hermione Granger, and Wednesday Addams, etc. They learned about the functions of the different brain structures and analyzed how the brain of each celebrity/character would work based on their personality. š¤Æ #PsychologyClass #BrainProject #KeepLearning #BFS
