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

They also familiarised themselves with 3D-printing technology and made 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 aimed to mitigate drug-related fears and uncertainties in children and encourage reflection about the importance of caring for little animals.
