Activities included The Pharmacy Shop, where the pupils learned what goes into a diagnosis and the importance of correct treatments.

They also learned about genetic variation, exploring the intricacies of what makes individuals unique, and played with a thermal camera, which participants find themselves in usually invisible infra-red light.

Pupils learned more about spectral lamps, observing the colour within to understand how we view gases in spac.

Another activity explored superconductivity, where pupils were invited to find out how to make things fly.
