Outreach Program Opportunities for Middle and High School Students

The Ixodes Outreach Project at the University of Minnesota Medical School Duluth is offering a FREE 40 to 50-minute Zoom presentation for students (grades 6-12).

 

The presentation will cover:

• What causes Lyme Disease
• How we can prevent Lyme Disease
• How we can make a difference in our community through research
• Research being done at UMD
• Citizen science efforts

We encourage audience participation using polls and a mock case study of a hypothetical student who experiences a tick bite to stimulate chat and group discussion.  

 

  

The number of presentations we are able to give is limited, so sign up your class today:
