Course Summary:

The year is 2100 and a delegation of an alien race - the Hubbledies - is visiting from the Sagittarius solar system. Our job is to look after one Hubbledy's health needs while they are on our planet. But it's not as easy as it sounds - they are not like humans! To diagnose and treat any diseases they might pick up we'll need to learn their unique biology and apply our best reasoning skills. 

This workshop introduces students to biological concepts at age-appropriate levels, then guides them through a problem-solving paradigm to diagnose and treat their new alien friend.
