NEW: Teacher and Student Resource includes Antimicrobial Resistance Component

Outreach in Schools

A new resource available from the Royal Academy of Engineering, "This is Engineering - Water" features bacteria and antimicrobial resistance to bring awareness of the topic into primary schools. The resource, which includes content downloads for students and teachers, is designed to provide practical applications and context for water-related scenarios. A key learning outcome is understanding the role of STEM learning in real-world engineering scenarios. The Beyond Antibiotics research team has been involved in the development of this resource.
