From next year, an online, digital brain will enable students to explore how the brain generates electricity, produces chemicals and regulates itself.

The digital brain, pioneered by Life Education founder Trevor Grice, aims to educate high schoolers of the neurological consequences of hormones, relationships, nuskin group drugs and alcohol.

Mr Grice says the project is about showing teenagers the importance of preserving their brain from damaging substances.

"Their brains are all accelerator and no brake," he told NZ Newswire.

"We're not saying don't do this, don't do that - we're saying look at what you've got, this is what you've got to protect.

"Would you lift your cranium and pour oil into it? Of course you wouldn't."

He said the tool will be used to highlight the damage caused by drugs and alcohol, nuskin including synthetic drugs.

"They're pretty naive and they're told by their mates `hey have one this will make you feel good' and initially it does but for every trip they take there's a return journey and there's also an ink mark on that cellular pathway," he said.

The $1 million project, which is in early stages of development, will be funded privately with interest already shown by Microsoft.

Mr Grice has been working with high school principals to have the programme rolled out in schools next year.

The New Zealand judiciary has also been looking at it for use in youth and family courts, and Mr Grice says he hopes sporting clubs and other organisations like the ACC will also sign up nu skin hk.

Parents and teachers will also be able to access the tool to facilitate their understanding of their children and pupils.

Life Education is a charity that aims to educate primary and intermediate school children on health and relationships and reaches about 225,000 New Zealand kids each year.
