Slime Lab: saving the future with the right mix (8+ years)

In a fun, hands-on workshop children and families will explore the science of safe medicine use through creative slime-making.

It’s the year 3000, and superbugs have taken over the world. Yasmine, a time-travelling, aspiring pharmacist, has journeyed back from the future to uncover how superbugs began – and what we can do to stop them.

Guided by Dr Tien Bui, a registered pharmacist and research fellow at the University of South Australia, you’ll help Yasmine on her mission to save the future.

Together you’ll work through short, engaging scenarios about using medicine. For each decision made, children will add ingredients to their slime ­- sparkly toppings for wise choices, or dark and gloomy ones for risky moves. Each choice is linked to real life medicine messages and the science behind antibiotics.

By the end, you’ll create your very own helpful bug – or a mighty superbug – and take home important tips for medicine safety.
