A journey to microbial cities
Come and discover the wonderful world of biofilms!
Biofilms are colonies of micro-organisms, such as bacteria, living together. These colonies, which are a bit like microbial cities, have fascinating properties and can be found all around you, and they matter in anything from health to food and cosmetics.
To immerse yourself in this fascinating world, we will have a giant LEGO model of a biofilm! Not only it looks amazing, but we would like you to contribute to it, so we will give you everything you need to build your own LEGO microbe to add to our giant model. You will also be able to touch and observe real biofilms under a microscope.
We hope to see many of you contribute to our giand LEGO model, and discover with us what these bacterial cities are, what they do, and how we can do research about them and improve our lives!
