To inspire confidence in COVID-19 vaccines and promote vaccination as an act of solidarity, the non-profit organization Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) has just launched the second public service campaign of the "Aquí Nos Cuidamos Toolkit" under the theme, "Vacúnate, por ti y por mí" (Get vaccinated, for you and for me). This effort coincides with the World Immunization Week declared by the World Health Organization and celebrated from April 25 to May 1 this year.
To continue promoting education for the prevention of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, the non-profit organization Ciencia Puerto Rico (CienciaPR) developed the "Aquí Nos Cuidamos Toolkit" or #AquiNosCuidamosPR. It consists of four public service campaigns with free informational and educational resources.
The series features short videos developed to complement the 7th through 9th grade science curriculum and contains positive examples of scientists, engineers, and professionals in technology careers, as well as illustrating the sciences in an exciting and relevant way for the lives of Puerto Rican students.
Through the narration of Yajaira Sierra-Sastre, a young scientist and educator, students will observe stars with the Caribbean Astronomical Society, visit the Arecibo Radio Telescope, listen to advice from Puerto Rican astronaut Joseph Acabá, and observe how research by Puerto Rican scientists is revolutionizing Space exploration.
The videos are accompanied by guides for teachers that facilitate the integration of the resource into the classroom
