We challenge you: learn more about your body with us! Come along with your friends or family and go through this special course together.
What are the differences between bodies? Do you have impressive muscle mass or an ironclad memory, and what’s considered average? Maybe you even have a surprising talent.
You’ll do five fun tests:
- Test your reaction time with this spectacular reaction game. Catch all the sticks before they hit the ground—it’s trickier than you might think. Do you have the reflexes of a cat?
- Examine your fingerprints. Create beautiful prints of the patterns on your fingertips. You’ll learn to recognize the patterns and how often they appear. Are all fingerprints really unique?
- Strength—who doesn’t want to be strong? Test your muscle power with special handgrip strength meters. A fun word game and an educational test. Who’s the strongest in your group?
- Sometimes, it’s surprisingly easy to discover what’s hidden in your DNA. We’ll test if you have a certain gene by tasting!
- Memory becomes truly important when it starts to fail. We’ve created a special tactile memory game for you. Discover how your memory works together with your senses.
