In this workshop, students are introduced to the concept of immunity and will explore how vaccinations take advantage of the natural functions of the immune system. Students will participate in an interactive simulation game to develop their understanding and will then be challenged to create a comic strip of their own, using their storytelling skills to communicate their learning.
