For the Los Angeles Brain Bee, we are hoping to create a Brain Day LA

A small gallery in downtown has granted us access to use their gallery and we typically set up a gallery in Holmes Hall. We usually have the entire use of Holmes Hall as it falls during Winter Break. This year we want to open it to the community so we will be advertising in the LA weekly and Parenting magazines.

I need social networking designers Facebook: My space: Twitter: Other- please specify:

I need a marketing director- Needs to contact LA weekly and other free papers in the area to find out advertising costs and send in adds Also come up with new ideas to get the word out.

We want to be able to teach people of all ages about the brain so we should have a variety of age appropriate exhibits.

All exhibit developments must have detailed information as to how they are to be set up. They also must have strong concrete facts on the learning concept. Everything should be done in a highly creative unique way. If you come up with a very grand design, you should also include how to make it more realistic so that it can be done.

The key is to present information, but present it in unique fascinating ways.

==This assignment is due on the Tuesday before the Thanksgiving break so that if your project is chosen I can go over the details with you before the end of the semester. - We do not have class on Thursday so maybe you could schedule some time for it then. ==
