Something’s growing at Spark, and you get to help grow it. 🧫
What’s Growing On?! is a hands-on petri dish swabbing experience at Petri Dish by Beakerhead. Swab your surroundings, prepare your very own petri dish, and add it to the festival’s growing colony. Then see which microorganisms move in.
Here’s what you’ll get up to:
🧪 Collect samples from the world around you
🔬 Prepare your own petri dish
🦠 Add it to the festival’s growing colony
🔍 Explore microbiology and the unseen organisms around us every day
Great for curious kids, curious grown-ups and anyone who’s ever wondered what’s living on their phone.
