The educational tools have been developed in partnership with the charity Children for Health and partners Dr Hugo Azcorra (Universidad Modelo, Merida) and MSc Samantha Sanchez (Universidad Vizcaya de las Americas).
It is hoped that the project content will be incorporated into the school curriculum in Mexico, and can be adapted to the sociocultural realities of neighbouring countries such as Guatemala, Peru and Ecuador, with whom the team already has active research and innovation connections.
