Pfizer has launched online educational resources to support teachers, parents, and carers in providing continued STEM education to children in the UK, during the pandemic (1). The free resources, Superbugs: Join the Fight (developed in collaboration with the UK’s National Schools Partnership) and Science in a Box, aim to introduce children to pharmaceutically relevant topics.
Superbugs: Join the Fight consists of e-learning materials that teach children how the spread of infections can be controlled, and the importance of antibiotics and vaccines in disease prevention. Science in a Box uses puzzles and e-learning modules to introduce children to the drug development process. Pfizer has also released new content focusing on viruses and pandemics to help give children a better understanding of the COVID-19 crisis.
