We welcomed 48 students from Mansfeld Middle Magnet School for a hands-on learning experience. They were greeted by our Corporate and Community Relations directors, Annmarie Medina and Caroline Berger.

The eighth grade students toured the Arizona Simulation Technology & Education Center (ASTEC), visited the Coit Museum of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and practiced filling prescriptions with simulated medication. At University of Arizona BIO5 Institute, they learned how research works and extracted DNA from strawberries. After a busy morning, they enjoyed lunch at the Student Union.

Their favorite part of the day? Holding the realistic babies in ASTEC and exploring the human body on the Anatomage table.
