There was a lot of life and excitement at Matís' office in Neskaupstaður on Saturday 15 October. The family's technology day, which is held by Verkmenntaskóli Austurlands, was celebrated, and on the occasion of the day, Matís had an open house where the activities were introduced to guests and pedestrians.
A cake was offered on the occasion of Matís turning 10 on the 1st of January next.
Guests were invited to view various crops in agar bowls, such as salmonella, listeria and mold, as well as bowls that showed bacteria growing on the hands before and after hand washing with soap and disinfectant alcohol. The kids were also allowed to spray themselves on the color of the solutions as well as make a so-called elephant toothpaste.
All of this was very successful and the kids were ecstatic to be able to spray themselves a little on the experiments.
About 400 servings of cake disappeared into the guests in just over 2 hours, and almost 1000 guests registered in the guestbook of the technology day.
