They also took part in a game of inquiry "Finding" of the lost rat".

During the workshops Fun with the brain (263) participants prepared "magic potions", found out about neurons and brain and the way they work, as well as the phenomenon of fluorescence
The lectures and presentations were very popular. All the events were hosted by about 1000 people.
