About "Backyard Brains"
As grad students at University of Michigan, co-founders Tim and Greg often interacted with schoolchildren during neuroscience outreach events. Children consistently demonstrate creativity, however they are frequently unaware of the possibilities of biotechnology. Electronic kits, ant farms, chemistry sets, and toy microscopes are currently available, however these devices do not provide insight into the inner workings of the body, specifically the brain.
We developed a bio-technology kit that is affordable and user-friendly to be used in classrooms and at home. Our first product, the Spikerbox, is available now.
We all love nostalgia, and us at Backyard Brains are no different. Take a moment to view the photos of the birth of our company.
