We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with the Murcia City Council to host two major events of the OrganKits project A permanent exhibition will be installed at the Museo de la Ciencia y el Agua (Science and Water Museum) in Murcia. This engaging space will feature a large infographic showcasing the OrganKits concept, an…
Over the past months, Discover-IN (Murcia) has successfully plastinated a total of 448 real organ specimens, including hearts, lungs, brains, stomachs, kidneys, and more—sourced from ovine, bovine, and swine origins. These specimens were produced using the Biodur® S10 silicone technique, the gold standard for educational plastination, under strict quality assurance protocols (ISO 9001:2015). The result:…
The second cycle of the Erasmus+ OrganKits project was successfully completed at Platon Schools in Greece, with students diving deeper into science through hands-on learning and real anatomical models. In this phase, students explored the CardioHealth, MentalHealth, and SportsHealth kits, learning about the heart, brain, and how exercise affects the body. Working with plastinated organs…
In this cycle, our students dove into the fascinating world of body systems with creativity, curiosity, and hands-on exploration! Here are some standout moments from across the modules: 🦵 SportHealth We turned into movement detectives—testing if leg length affects jumping distance and travelling through history to explore the evolution of physical fitness. 🥦 NutriHealth Students explored enzyme…
The OrganKits Erasmus+ Project is reaching out to secondary schools across Europe to participate in a special Meeting with Associated Schools. This gathering is an exciting opportunity for educators to join a collaborative network focused on transforming STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education through innovative learning tools and teaching methods. The Meeting with…
OrganKits project has reached a major milestone, with all participating schools and organizations receiving their new shipment of plastinated anatomical kits for the 2024/2025 academic year. These kits, designed to enhance hands-on STEAM education, are now being distributed across partner institutions in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Turkey. This marks the beginning of the second implementation…

On October 15th, the Erasmus Days live event brought science, education, and innovation to life, offering participants a first-hand look at the groundbreaking OrganKits. Hosted by an international team of educators and researchers, the event connected audiences across borders to showcase how OrganKits is transforming hands-on learning in classrooms worldwide. Broadcast live from laboratories and…
Plastination, an innovative anatomical technique, has revolutionized the way we preserve and study biological tissues. This sophisticated process involves replacing water and fat in tissues with curable polymers, resulting in specimens that are dry, odorless, and durable, making them invaluable for educational and research purposes. Mastery of this technique requires specialized training in experienced laboratories….
Ever wondered about the enigmatic powerhouse housed within our skulls? At Duca Abruzzi School, we delved deep into the complexities of the human brain! Our students embarked on an eye-opening journey as they examined a plastinated brain up close and personal. From dissecting the cerebral cortex to tracing the pathways of the brainstem and cerebellum,…
