Fighting Disease Around the World
Grades 6+
Humanity is no stranger to diseases, but some are more well-known than others. In this workshop, we’ll highlight a few diseases the Gates Foundation works on and explore different approaches to “fighting disease” in general. Most of our time will be spent talking about the Neglected Tropical Diseases, which are generally less well-known despite affecting billions of individuals on the planet. We will also explore ways that young folks can make a difference on these topics.
