From OrganKits, we are proud to present the Guidelines of the OrganKits Educational Model, the pedagogical framework resulting from our Erasmus+ project. These Guidelines provide schools with a structured pathway to implement OrganKits: ✔️ How to integrate plastinated organs into STEAM learning ✔️ Didactic sequences and project-based methodologies ✔️ Open resources, teacher training, and quality…
The OrganKits project team is launching a new initiative to bring OrganKits into Hospital Classrooms for primary and secondary students. Thanks to the unique properties of plastinated organs — safe, durable, and suitable for any learning environment — and the didactic resources developed within the Erasmus+ OrganKits project, it will soon be possible to offer…
The OrganKits project has successfully concluded with focus groups in Italy, Spain, Greece, and Turkey, where 14 teachers shared their classroom experiences using plastinated organ kits. Each session gathered teachers who had implemented the kits in diverse subjects and educational contexts, with the aim of collecting rich qualitative insights, grounded in first-hand experience, into the…
We are excited to announce the release of a comprehensive educational monograph that brings together cutting-edge resources to enhance STEM learning in secondary schools. The OrganKits Project offers a unique way to engage students with real anatomical specimens—plastinated organs—combining science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM) in a project-based learning environment. This educational monograph, developed…

From 15 May to 15 September, the Museo de la Ciencia y el Agua in Murcia is hosting a permanent exhibition on the OrganKits project. The exhibition was officially inaugurated by the Councillor for Culture of the City of Murcia, with the attendance of the Dean, Academic Secretary, and Vice-Dean of the Veterinary Degree from…
On 27–28 May, the International Conference on OrganKits took place, bringing together the project’s seven partners alongside one of the associated educational secondary schools (IES Ingeniero de la Cierva), and two science museums: the Museo de la Ciencia y el Agua (Murcia) and the MUDIC (Orihuela). The conference was a final and crucial milestone in…
Introduction Understanding health and well-being goes far beyond memorizing anatomical facts — it requires real engagement with the body and its systems, especially when these concepts intersect with everyday challenges and lifestyles. The OrganKits project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, offers an innovative STEAM-based educational framework using real plastinated organs to…
Plastination is a revolutionary anatomical technique that is transforming the way anatomy is taught in universities, offering an unparalleled method for preserving real biological specimens which can be manipulated with bare hands in any educational set up. This innovative approach is at the core of the OrganKits project.Originally invented by Dr. Gunther von Hagens in…
