Family Science Workshop: The World of the Cell

What does the fundamental unit of living things look like, and what secrets does it hold under a microscope lens? CaixaForum Palma hosts an interactive session designed for families to discover biological structures invisible to the naked eye. 🔬✨

This activity is part of the science outreach and family programming organized by the ”la Caixa” Foundation cultural center, aimed at bringing scientific inquiry and hands-on discovery closer to the general public.

📖 Microscopic observations for the whole family

What is a cell? Where does it come from? Where can it be found? Are there many distinct types of cells? In this practical family workshop, attendees create simple slide preparations that enable them to view various cells under a microscope and observe their characteristics firsthand.

Throughout the session, participants explore the structural complexity of life's fundamental unit, examining its organelles and the vital functions they perform. The workshop also encourages reflection on how technological progress, such as enhanced microscope resolution, has driven major advances in biology and medicine.
