About the workshop
Did you know that your body is exposed to thousands of germs every day?
Come along and learn how your immune system protects your body from these germs.
We’ll learn about the different cells involved in your immune system and how they each play a special role in protecting your body.
Get involved in hands on experiments showcasing the importance of these immune cells for your health.
