exciting Kid MD program for young, future doctors/children eight-years old and
up, to explore the functions of the human body.

The educational workshop taught kids health basics, preventive medicine and introduced them to the idea of health and medical careers.

Children contributing in the program dressed in lab
coats and stethoscopes and were led through activities on the sensory system,
brain, heart, lungs, and bones.

We highly recommend the exceedingly educational workshop to the older kids

"BODY
WORLDS
was invented by Dr. von
Hagens in 1977, the Plastination process replaces the natural fluids in
anatomical specimens with liquid reactive plastics that are hardened and cured
with gas, light, or heat.
Before hardening the plastic in the specimens, they
are dissected and arranged into extraordinary, life-like poses, illustrating
how our bodies internally respond to everyday movements and activities.
Plastination provides the flexibility and strength needed to display and
preserve anatomical specimens in their true-to-life form, without the use of
glass barriers or formaldehyde.
Gunther von Hagens’ BODY WORLDS exhibitions
stem from an established body donation program that relies on donor consent.
Basia, January 2015
The specimens on display, excluding a small number of acquisitions from
anatomical collections and anatomy programs, stem from a body donation program
that was begun in 1983 by Dr. von Hagens."
