Neuroscience & Brain Health
Amaira Tayal
Changemaker of the MonthWe teach kids about the world, but rarely about how their own brain works, a gap Amaira set out to close. Recognising that teenagers, especially in low income communities, face daily stress with little guidance on emotional regulation, she designed a board game featuring a Brain Map and Challenge Cards to make neuroscience and self care accessible and engaging.
- She took it furtherRunning hands-on workshops with Shakti Foundation and Children’s Hope India, bringing the game directly to the teens who needed it most
- What changedA subject often seen as complex or clinical became something teenagers could understand, relate to and actually use
