We were happy to participate in the #NationalerZukunftstag. Together with the kids we collected samples from nature and explored them under their self-build fold microscope.

Just in case anyone ever had doubts: Biological science is fun! 330 kids between 10 and 13 years of age visited ETH Zurich today for the nationwide "Future Day 2023", and 47 of these were hosted in the D-BIOL to carry out experiments in our labs.
