We've Got Your Bac
Participants build a pom-pom microbe friend to take home, and receive a kit to build a second microbe at home or to share with a friend. In order to ‘win’ the materials needed to build a microbe, the participants will answer 5 quiz questions that teach concepts about the gut microbiome. After the participant completes their microbe, they will be given a take-home microbe kit. Visitors learn that microbes are helpful to humans and that humans and microbes can partner to improve human health.
