Activities
What else would you like to learn, try, or discover? Explore, experiment, and learn about the human body in a fun way. Maybe one of the activities will spark your curiosity.
During the 55-minute “journey through the human body,” you’ll explore the human body from the inside out. You’ll see how organs work together and what happens inside your body. But even after 55 minutes, there’s still plenty more to see.
CORPUS’s activities encourage you to look deeper. You’ll explore topics up close, experiment, play, and move around. Each activity opens a different door. That’s how you’ll discover new aspects of the human body and find answers to questions that arose during your “journey through the human body.”

Your body is the game
From July 11 through August 23, 2026, you’ll explore five zones at CORPUS UNLOCKED. You’ll play, move, and think. Travel through the human body with VR goggles, test your reaction time on the race track, and steal the show on the dance floor. Try your hand at various sports or put your strategy to the test in the Brain Zone.
When you enter, you'll receive a quest map. Can you unlock all five zones? If so, you'll have a chance to win a CORPUS prize package.
For curious researchers
At the CORPUS Kids Academy, your curiosity will be given free rein. Each month, an event focuses on a different topic, ranging from DNA and kidneys to the brain and blood. Together with experts, you’ll explore, experiment, and discover what’s happening inside your body.
You can keep exploring from home, too. In short educational clips, the CORPUS hosts talk with experts from the fields of healthcare and science. And before you know it, one answer leads to yet another question.
