An MRI scan is an extraordinary experience. Our innovative concept challenges children to reflect on their personal sense of calm and encourages them to discover what technology can do.

Crafting dreams, embracing tech

Lying still in an MRI scanner can be challenging. We want children to experience that they have the power to meet this challenge. Through stimulating questions, we inspire them to think about what makes them feel calm. Then they get to work drawing their ideal environment. And then comes the magic moment: in spectacular fashion, we engage children in this ingenious invention and show them that technology can create wonder. They learn that technology is an opportunity to shape their own future. By creating their own ideal environment, they discover that they can influence their own world.

This experience offers children:

Inspiration for the future Stimulation of creativity Mindfulness Knowledge about engineering and design Self-confidence and autonomy Understanding and empathy

Toolkit for inventors
