IMD in Paraguay
Exploring the Microorganisms Kingdom
On 19 September 2023, we celebrated IMD at Escuela Básica 4189 San Miguel Arcangel, San Lorenzo City, Paraguay.
Our interactive event had six stations in which children rotated and focused on teaching the beneficial roles of microbes. We made our stations entertaining and interactive by using games, colouring, puzzles, microscopes etc. Yogurt was distributed as a snack, as a food produced with the help of microbes.
The atmosphere was filled with excitement and curiosity, and the children were eager to learn about the fascinating world of microorganisms.
This event is organized by the Centro Multidisciplinario de Investigaciones Tecnológicas (CEMIT) with the support of Sociedad Paraguaya de Microbiología, American Society for Microbiology, ASM , Student Chapter Paraguay, Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) Chapter Paraguay, Fungi Paraguay, MIND.Funga, UFSC, SBPC.
