Mosquitos can do more than just give you an itchy bump on your arm. In fact, some arthropods (such as ticks and flies) can transmit a wide variety of pathogens that are of medical importance to humans. Students learn about these vector-borne disease systems and then collect data as they participate in a neighborhood cleanup to help reduce the mosquito breeding areas around their school. Materials collected from this are then incorporated into a sculpture that brings attention to the project and which is then showcased for the surrounding community.

My son came home and couldn't stop talking all about his day at school today, all because of Village Edu. I've never seen him that happy getting off the bus and running to tell me all about the creatures he saw today!
Working with this organization has been an eye-opening experience. Their dedication to educating kids on the importance of bugs is so special and unique.
