Tiny Detectives: Exploring Nano-Science to Catch Invisible Germs

This booth invites Science Festival attendees into an interactive world where nano-biosensing meets play and discovery. Kids and adults alike will become “germ detectives” through trivia games, a microscope scavenger hunt with simulated pathogens, and a hands-on magnetic nanoparticle activity that mimics real pathogen detection. Designed to make nano-science fun and accessible, the booth encourages curiosity, critical thinking, and tactile learning. By blending science with games, participants will walk away with a deeper appreciation of how scientists track down invisible germs—and have fun doing it!
