Talcott Mountain Science Center hosts an evening with Jacob Komar

Talcott Mountain Science Center invites you to an evening with Jacob Komar, a PhD candidate at Brown University.  Mr. Komar will be presenting on his current work with neural implants & interfacing the brain with modern prosthetic devices.


Jacob, a former TMA student, is at the vanguard of a new technology earning a joint degree in neurophysiology and engineering.
Jacob’s first major project at age 9 involved acquiring computers that were discarded from Talcott Mountain Academy and his sister’s school, restoring them and donating them to families who couldn't otherwise afford them. He called this “Computers for Communities.”


Jacob shares his special talents through volunteer work, which resulted in national recognition including a “DoSomething.org” ‘Brick’ Award”, the “Prudential Spirit of Community Award”, “Angel Soft Angels in Action Award” and “Kohl’s Kids Who Care Point of Light Award.” 

Please rsvp to Talcott Mountain at 860-677-8571.
