BRAINedu: A Window into the Brain/Una Ventana al Cerebro Project Abstract – Twin Cities PBS BRAINedu: A Window into the Brain/Una Ventana al Cerebro is a national Spanish/English informal education project providing culturally competent programming and media resources about the brain’s structure and function to Hispanic middle school students and their families. The project responds to the need to eliminate proven barriers to Hispanic students’ STEM/neuroscience education, increase Hispanic participation in neuroscience and mental health careers and increase Hispanic utilization of mental health resources. The program’s goals are to engage Hispanic learners and families by 1) empowering informal STEM educators to provide culturally competent activities about the brain’s structure and function; 2) demonstrating neuroscience and mental health career options; and 3) reducing mental health stigma, thus increasing help-seeking behavior. The hypothesis underpinning BRAINedu’s four-year project plan is that participating Hispanic youth and families will be able to explain how the brain works and describe specific brain disorders; demonstrate a higher level of interest of neuroscience and mental health careers and be more willing to openly discuss and seek support for brain disorders and mental health conditions. To achieve program goals, Twin Cities PBS (TPT) will leverage existing partnerships with Hispanic- serving youth educational organizations to provide culturally competent learning opportunities about brain health to Hispanic students and families. TPT will partner with neuroscience and mental health professionals, cultural competency experts and Hispanic-serving informal STEM educators to complete the following objectives: 1) Develop bilingual educational resources for multigenerational audiences; 2) Provide professional development around neuroscience education to informal educators, empowering them to implement programming with Hispanic youth and families, and 3) Develop role model video profiles of Hispanic neuroscience professionals, and help partner organizations produce autobiographical student videos. We will employ rigorous evaluation strategies to measure the project’s impact on Hispanic participants’: a) understanding of neuroscience and brain health, particularly around disorders that disproportionately affect the Hispanic community; b) motivation to pursue neuroscience or mental health career paths; and c) mental health literacy and help-seeking behavior. The project will directly reach 72 Hispanic-serving informal STEM educators and public health professionals, and 200 children and 400 parents in underserved urban, suburban and rural communities nationwide.

BRAINEDU：了解大脑的窗口/Una Ventana al Cerebro 项目摘要-双子城PBS BRAINEDU：A Window to the Brain/Una Ventana al Cerebro是全国性的西班牙语/英语非正式用语 教育项目，提供关于大脑的有文化能力的节目和媒体资源 西班牙裔中学生及其家庭的结构和功能。该项目响应了 需要消除拉美裔学生STEM/神经科学教育的公认障碍，增加拉美裔学生 参与神经科学和心理健康事业，增加拉美裔对心理健康的利用 资源。该计划的目标是通过1)赋予非正式语言能力来吸引拉美裔学习者和家庭 STEM教育者提供有关大脑结构和功能的文化活动；2) 展示神经科学和心理健康的职业选择；以及3)减少心理健康的污名，从而 增加求助行为。BRAINEDU四年项目计划的假设是 参与的西班牙裔青年和家庭将能够解释大脑是如何工作的，并描述 特定的脑部疾病；对神经科学和心理健康事业表现出更高的兴趣 并且更愿意公开讨论和寻求对大脑障碍和精神健康状况的支持。 为了实现计划目标，双城公共广播公司(TPT)将利用与西班牙裔美国人的现有合作伙伴关系- 为青年教育组织提供有文化能力的学习机会 西班牙裔学生和家庭的大脑健康。TPT将与神经科学和心理健康合作 专业人员、文化能力专家和服务于西班牙裔的非正式STEM教育者完成 以下目标：1)为多代受众开发双语教育资源；2) 向非正式教育工作者提供围绕神经科学教育的专业发展，赋予 他们与西班牙裔青年和家庭一起实施节目，以及3)制作榜样视频 西班牙裔神经科学专业人士的简介，并帮助合作伙伴组织制作自传体 学生视频。 我们将采用严格的评估策略来衡量该项目对拉美裔参与者的影响： A)了解神经科学和大脑健康，特别是关于不成比例的疾病 影响拉美裔社区；b)追求神经科学或心理健康职业道路的动机；以及c) 心理健康素养和求助行为。该项目将直接惠及72名拉美裔服务人员 非正式STEM教育工作者和公共卫生专业人员，以及200名儿童和400名家长 在全国范围内，城市、郊区和农村社区的服务不足。
