- Outreach
Working with Schools
Microbiology@UCL听is working with听UCL听Innovation & Enterprise, UCL听Institute of Education, UCL Community Engaged Learning, and the听听initiative听to design, deliver, and assess hands-on microbiology learning activities for primary and secondary school children. If you are a UCL student, post-doc, or academic interested in participating please get in touch.
We delivered our series of microbiology lessons to Year 5 (age 10-11) schoolchildren for the first time in June-July 2021. Check out to find out more about the activities, how it went, and what we're doing to widen the impact of the project.
