Welcome to the InterAxon Family!
In addition to visiting K-12 students and hosting events on UCLA’s campus, InterAxon prides itself on being an all-inclusive, welcoming organization where anyone interested in science and service can join, regardless of major or year. We truly are one big family and we hope you can join us to meet and make life-long friends along the way!
Our Mission
To create and foster interest, excitement, and curiosity about the brain. We travel to elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools in disadvantaged areas of Los Angeles to work with students at schools receiving poor funding in the sciences.
Our History
InterAxon was founded at UCLA in 2006 in affiliation with the Brain Research Institute (BRI). Our club specifically targets Title I schools, which describe K-12 schools that are underfunded in the sciences. We aim to build the confidence of these students so that they are less intimidated by STEM fields in the future!
Interested in joining the InterAxon family? Please join our mailing list during the summer. We begin accepting members throughout the academic year, only a membership form and one-time fee required!
