Young Doctors - Circulatory & Nervous Systems - July School Holiday Workshop (Ages 7-11)

Ready to uncover what keeps your body ticking and thinking?
In this full-day workshop, curious students aged 7 to 11 will dive into the fascinating world of human anatomy, exploring how the circulatory and nervous systems keep us alive and aware. This is a rare opportunity for children to engage with topics not usually explored at this age, presented in a way that challenges and excites those eager to dig deeper into real science.

Explore the human body from the inside out
Students will discover how the heart pumps blood through the body and how the brain, eye and nerves help us move, see, and respond to the world around us. Through fun interactive theory and guided activities, they’ll build a strong understanding of these vital systems, and will also have the opportunity to examine and dissect real organs involved in these processes up close.

Created for curious minds who love to learn by doing
This workshop blends theory with exciting hands-on experiences that spark deep thinking and creative curiosity. Students will have the chance to work with like-minded peers, build confidence in scientific language, and explore fascinating anatomy in a practical, memorable way.

Guided by experts in education and medicine
The workshop is facilitated by a Gifted and Talented education specialist with over a decade of experience teaching anatomical dissection, alongside a highly experienced Emergency Nurse who brings real-world medical insights and regularly trains doctors and nurses across Western Australia. Together, they provide a perfect balance of academic challenge and practical enrichment.

This immersive workshop is sure to excite aspiring surgeons and curious minds alike. As part of the long-running and ever-popular Young Doctors series, it offers a challenging and engaging introduction to the field of human anatomy.

Maximum fun and exploration await… but not for the fainthearted!
