Young Doctors - Term 2 After School Workshop: Methodist Ladies' College

Have you ever wondered what really goes on inside the human body? How do the heart, lungs, and brain work together to keep us alive? What does a real organ look and feel like?

High-potential students in Years 5 and 6 from Methodist Ladies’ College are invited to take a deep dive into the fascinating world of human anatomy like never before! This hands-on workshop isn’t just about learning facts, it’s about exploring, questioning, and discovering.
