Fighting Disease Around the World
Grades 6+
Humanity is no stranger to diseases, but not everyone is impacted equally across the world. In this workshop, we’ll highlight a few diseases the Gates Foundation works on and explore different approaches to “fighting disease” in general. Students will consider how simple objects like a permanent marker, a sticker, and 50 cents can help prevent and treat infectious diseases. We will also explore ways that young folks can make a difference on these topics.
We’ll divide students into groups of about 15. We encourage teachers to pre-divide their students, if possible.
