Aletta Smits has been giving presentations on the wonderful adolescents we deal with every day since 2009. Aletta actually wanted to be a comedian, but studied English. She taught for a long time at several high schools and at the teacher training college of Leiden University. Besides her lectures, she works as a researcher human-AI interaction and as a lecturer at the Hogeschool Utrecht.

The adolescent brain - a manual is an upbeat presentation about how the average adolescent brain works and what adults need to know about it. About plans; about when they sleep; about their disarming honesty and their fantastic sense of humor.
