Inspiring young minds: the Microbiology Kids Club in Mozambique.

The Microbiology Kids Club is an initiative designed to foster early interest in microbiology among children aged 5 to 16 years in Mozambique. Through hands-on activities such as microscopy, pipetting and artistic exploration, the program introduces participants to key microbiological concepts, sparking curiosity and promoting an understanding of microbiology's role in our daily lives. The first edition of the club successfully engaged 100 children from Maputo City, while the second involved 60 children from Marracuene District, resulting in improved comprehension of microbial sciences.
