Books are exciting, captivating, intriguing, and fun! This why this workshop will explore the world of books and reading - in English! But don't worry, we'll first read the book out loud to you, then we'll act out the story together. You'll learn some vocabulary beforehand and then we'll get started! Weather permitting, we can also spend the time outdoors as well.

Our body contains countless tiny channels through which, for example, our blood flows. But what else do they do? And how can we examine chemical and biological processes? We will work with microfluidic systems that will help us to explore a new wonderful and miniature world.

Our jazz dance course is an introduction to a cool dance style that evolved from a diverse combination of different influences. Jazz dance is rooted in 20th century America and blends elements of African and African-American dance, modern dance, and classical dance.

This workshop will get you moving: Perform lightning-fast steps, accentuate the rhythm, and use dance to express your emotions. The best thing about it is that you have the freedom to let your creativity flow and to experiment!

Jazz dance is versatile and an active part of different artistic fields, such as theater performances, music videos, and dance competitions!  You can show off your new skills everywhere. So, join in and get moving!

A stroke is a serious medical emergency that can happen to anyone at any time. This workshop focuses on recognizing stroke symptoms, learning how doctors render a diagnosis at the hospital, how strokes are treated and, above all, what you can do to help until medical help arrives.

Do you know just how your heart works? The heart is an amazing organ and you will learn more about how your heart works, and what can be harmful. But don't worry, you'll also learn how you can keep this vital organ healthy and how modern medicine can heal and repair heart damage.

What do we do in an emergency situation where someone needs help? Learn how to save lives using simple resuscitation techniques!

Everyone has to pay taxes, but how does it all actually work? Where did taxes originate, what kinds of taxes are there, and why do we need taxes? Who gets them, do companies also have to pay taxes, and what happens if you don't pay them? As part of a simplified format, you will learn everything you wanted to know about taxes and by the end, you will even understand how taxes help to protect our environment!

How does the body work? How does blood get to where it needs to go and what’s the heart’s role in all of this? We will work with a self-constructed hydraulic model to better understand how this works and learn what’s behind the terms cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology, and what goes on inside us.

How do medicines work? They work because they contain special molecules that are effective inside the human body. This workshop shows you how it all happens - and then you can examine the effects of medicines in a hands-on way!

A cancer diagnosis is far from uncommon and can dramatically impact a person's life. Thankfully, there have been considerable advances in treating cancer. Some types of cancer, however, are more difficult to detect, especially as they show no symptoms. In this case, a liquid biopsy can help! A liquid biopsy is a simple blood test that can detect tiny pieces of DNA (or other substances) that cancer cells release into the bloodstream. This quick and simple method helps doctors to detect and treat many different types of cancer. As part of this workshop, you can become a physician yourself and carry out your own liquid biopsy experiments.

Surely you've seen a movie where someone was on trial. Did you know, that in Austria, you are criminally responsible from the age of 14? But what does that mean? And what is criminal law, anyway?

Find out how much you can defend yourself when someone tries to take your phone, whether there are other sentences besides fines and imprisonment, and what special rules apply to young people when they end up in court.
