STEM4kids workshop #TheSmellChallenge
'Neusje voor wetenschap' kinder-workshop
Hoe kunnen we meer kinderen aantrekken voor wetenschappelijke studies?
Hoe leggen we moeilijke onderwerpen als Alzheimer uit aan kinderen?
Sinds de start in 2017, namen meer dan 500 deel aan #TheSmellChallenge.
In deze workshop testen kinderen en hun (groot)ouders geblinddoekt hoeveel geuren ze kunnen herkennen en wat er gebeurt in de hersenen van patienten met de ziekte van Alzheimer 🔬
Volgende data: Dag Van De Wetenschap, Online dus bij jou thuis op 22 november 2020 om 14u.
