Dive into the fascinating world of bacteria! Discover lakes, oceans, garden soil, and plants from the perspective of tiny bacteria. With microscopes, games, and exciting experiments, you’ll experience hands-on research.

Join us on an exciting journey into nature and discover the fascinating world of the tiny bacteria that inhabit it. 
We’ll take you on expeditions near and far. Join us as we explore habitats right on your doorstep, seagrass beds in the Mediterranean, coral reefs and hidden jungle lakes in the tropics, or icy fjords in the Arctic—and learn about the important roles bacteria play there. 

--> Habitats such as lakes, the ocean, garden soil, and plants—as seen through the eyes of tiny bacteria.
--> A playful introduction to our research—both theory and practice—for young and old alike. 
--> Catch bacteria under the microscope using a magnet. 
--> Control a “cell vacuum cleaner” to win candy. 
--> Play cards to discover the strongest, coolest, and most exciting interactions between microorganisms. 
--> Sniff unfamiliar air and discover the connection between smell, health, and microorganisms in plants. 

Our team is fluent in English. Everyone is welcome :)
