We began a STEM project in the summer term last year and our aim was getting children (mainly in developing countries) to wash their hands more.
The students wanted to help reduce deaths caused by preventable infections such as diarrhoea and pneumonia. This project was initially inspired by the Unilever Brighter Futures Competition, which we won in July 2017.
When we became aware of the theme of the Youth Grand Challenges competition, it gave us the basis to take the project in a new direction.
The Youth Grand Challenges is a STEM competition organised by the British Science Association (BSA) that aims to inspire young people, aged 11 to 19, to see how science and technology can be deployed to tackle global health issues.
