From school to lab bench

Great success at this years’s Girls‘ Day & Boys’ Day.

During our one-day event 8 pupils from different schools within Bonn got a real insight into the world of science at caesar and what it is like to be a scientist.

In a hands-on approach our group identified the compounds of various pain releavers, using chromatography and learned how to evaluate their own data.

Our pupils then had the chance to learn how electrone microscopes are working and how to prepare a sample in order to use this cutting-edge technique.

Everyone really enjoyed the hands-on experiments and we had lively discussion during the sessions.

We received fantastic feedback and it was a very enjoyable day for everyone.
