Kids' Assembly
What happens when you make brain science irresistible to kids? Developed by award-winning children's book author and DopaMind co-founder Bethany Barton, our 45-minute elementary assembly covers the science of how technology affects the developing brain — from dopamine to screen habits to AI — in a high-energy, giggle-inducing format that kids actually remember. Fun, empowering, and completely guilt-free.
-
Adolescent Assembly
Authentic, relatable, and empowering — no eye rolls guaranteed. For middle and high school students, a youth digital wellness activist joins a DopaMind educator to lead a high-impact 45-minute assembly that meets teens where they actually are. Students explore the brain science behind their tech habits, the mechanics of social media, persuasive technology, and AI, and what a healthy digital life really looks like — in a format that feels honest, not like a PSA.
-
Parent Ed Presentation
Digital parenting is complicated — and with so much conflicting information out there, it's hard to know where to start. We make it easy. Our informative and supportive Parent Ed presentations span a wide range of themes for elementary through high school communities — from digital wellness and screen health to social media, AI literacy, and practical digital parenting strategies — delivered with warmth, humor, and zero judgment.
-
Professional Development
Teachers and staff are on the front lines of the kids and tech conversation — and they deserve real support. This 60 to 90-minute session equips educators with the same trusted material their students receive, whether they plan to teach the material themselves or simply want to be informed partners. Along with practical classroom strategies for all grades, we explore the real challenges schools are facing today — from AI in the classroom and device policies to digital safety and how to be a critical thinker about technology's role in education.
-
Expert Panel
Some topics need more than one voice. DopaMind curates a 90-minute panel tailored to your school's community and age group, bringing together leading experts across social media, mental health, technology, and education for a live, guided discussion on the issues your community is most concerned about — phone-free schools, social media's impact on youth mental health, AI, and more. Research-backed insights, practical strategies, and real conversation — moderated by DopaMind and designed to go deep.

PTA Event Bundles
PTAs and parent organizations are some of DopaMind's closest partners — and some of our most enthusiastic ones. If you're planning multiple events across the school year — and we hope you are — our bundles offer preferred rates for PTAs, PFAs, PAs, and parent associations, with up to 30% savings the more you commit. Whether you're starting with two events or building out a full year for your whole community, we'll help you put together the right lineup.
“Thank you for your incredible parent presentation! Your speaking style was so engaging that time flew by – we could have listened for hours. The way you connected with everyone and shared such thought-provoking ideas made a real impact. The student assembly was amazing! We're so excited to hear what our students take away from it. Thank you for spending your morning with us at Chaparral – it truly made a difference.”

“We hosted DopaMind for a student assembly and a parent ed, and we were so impressed with their professionalism and ability to convey complex and sensitive topics surrounding technology use with simplicity, clarity, and empathy. The kids were deeply engaged in the material and asked so many great questions. Even the youngest students were attentive throughout! I was thrilled with the high turnout for the parent ed, and I received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our attendees. The topics presented were very comprehensive and well-presented – it gave our community a lot to think about. Thanks so much for the opportunity to help us navigate this tricky water!”
— Hillary Felder, Director, Kirk School
