Get hands-on with colour and chromatography! Using inks, absorbent paper, and water, you’ll create stunning designs as the colours blend and separate.
Your unique artwork will join a growing chromatography wall, building up over the weekend into a vibrant collective masterpiece! But there’s more to this than just beautiful art - it's science in action! You'll also learn how researchers use techniques like chromatography to become 'molecule detectives' - studying how these molecules are able to diagnose diseases like diabetes and cancer.
