Children and adults will be able to see the process of making mini-tablets, which are considered animal-friendly medicines due to their small size.

They will also familiarise themselves with 3D-printing technology and make a smart food dispenser for animals, which can be used to safely introduce a therapeutic treatment.

In addition to generating interest in science, the activity will aim to mitigate drug-related fears and uncertainties in children and encourage reflection about the importance of caring for little animals.
