In the weeks leading up to the visit, the students collected water samples from their local lake and conducted their first round of analyses together with a colleague from BactiQuant, who visited the school on May 15th. With their initial data in hand, the students arrived at BactiQuant’s headquarters at Blokken 75, ready to dive deeper into the world of microbiology and lab science.
Each of the three visiting classes was divided into small groups that rotated between four interactive stations in BactiQuant’s laboratory. The stations included learning how BactiQuant’s online production system works, how to collect and analyse their own water samples using BactiQuant’s technology and understanding how to work safely and professionally in a biological laboratory. Along the way, they were guided by passionate staff members from across the company — from R&D scientists to production experts and student assistants.
The energy throughout the day was high. Students asked thoughtful questions, got a better understanding of bacteria in water, and began to see how science connects to the real world.
The visit concluded with a group reflection session, where students shared their impressions and insights from the day. But the project doesn’t end there. On June 12th, BactiQuant will return to the school to help the students re-test their lake water and assess whether their own treatment strategies have made a difference. Finally, on June 18th, BactiQaunt is also invited to attend the students’ project presentations, offering feedback and celebrating their efforts.
This collaboration with Rude Skov School is more than just a school visit — it’s a small but meaningful step in inspiring the next generation of scientists, innovators, and environmentally conscious citizens, a step in which BactiQuant is proud to help facilitate.
