Oxford Academy students teach brain anatomy at Boys & Girls Club in Anaheim
Oxford Academy students and Dragon Kim Foundation Fellows Fashion Castillo-Delgadillo and Vinutha Sandahi recently taught the final session for participating kids at the Manzanita Park Boys & Girls Club Clubhouse in Anaheim. They connected sports with science and encouraged an active lifestyle. The anatomy of the human brain was the topic, and the kids had a chance to learn about brain injuries that might be sustained playing sports without wearing helmets. They were shown an example of how a brain moves around the skull using a jello example, and then had an opportunity to dissect real lamb brains. At the conclusion of the session, the students all received Certificates of Congressional Recognition from Representative Lou Correa.

The Oxford Academy students were selected to develop their project, called G.O.A.L. (Guiding Outstanding Active Learners) through the Foundation’s Dragon Kim Fellowship Program (https://dragonkimfoundation.org/fellowship/). Theirs was one of 20 teams of motivated high school students who have created and are managing community service projects with support of grants up to $5,000. The Foundation worked with those 20 projects throughout this spring and summer after selecting them last February from a total of over 150 entries.
