Kids Action Thru Science

Kids Action Thru Science (KATS) project at @UniofNewcastle @GCRFWaterHub | using innovative #climatechange education to empower young citizen scientists #sdgs

[Kids Action Thru Science @KATS_Ncl]

Over in New Delhi, India…the children responded to @StTeresasCP postcards and video messages!

They spoke about how pollution affects their communities, and asked them lots of questions about their knowledge of #climatechange

These connections will last a lifetime! 🇬🇧🇮🇳

[Kids Action Thru Science @KATS_Ncl]

We are extending our #KATS Global Network!

KATS Ambassadors from @StTeresasCP wrote postcards and filmed video messages to children living in India.

They wrote about themselves and asked them questions about their lives in New Delhi! 🇬🇧🇮🇳

Really happy to be here at the Hub Assembly #Delhi representing the KATS project. We can’t wait until Wednesday where we get to showcase our superhero water stories! 🦸💧@GCRFWaterHub

[Water Security Hub @GCRFWaterHub]

We're very excited to be in #Delhi for our final Hub Assembly, for a week of collaboration, knowledge exchange, and tackling #GlobalChallenges. Our ECRs are already busy mapping connections we share, and working on some very exciting content.

Day 4 @ Priyanka Camp 🇮🇳

The #HygieneManagers became scientists and used green paint to see the difference between washing our hands for 5 and 20 seconds 🟢

Colourful murals were created with slogans to spread the word about the importance of hand washing in their community! 💧

[Kids Action Thru Science @KATS_Ncl]

Day 3 @ Nizamuddin 🇮🇳

The kids started to create their own superhero water stories around protecting the Nizamuddin Baoli

Powers included the ability to zap litter from the water and stop flooding!

We can’t wait to see our #WaterStorytellers ideas come to life very soon!💧

[Kids Action Thru Science @KATS_Ncl]

Day 2 @ Nizamuddin 🇮🇳

The kids went on a trip to the Nizamuddin Baoli and learnt about its history, culture and issues around flooding & pollution. VR was used to experience life below water too!

Next time they will become #WaterStorytellers & create their own water stories! 💧

[Kids Action Thru Science @KATS_Ncl]

Day 1 @ Priyanka Camp 🇮🇳

Children discussed the importance of water and hand washing, and told the story of Mr. E-coli 🦠

We then participated in the ‘Glitter Experiment’ to see how quickly germs spread from person to person.

One step closer to becoming #HygieneManagers!💧
