Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

The PS5® mothership has been wrecked, leaving ASTRO and the bot crew scattered all over the galaxies. 


Time to ride your trusty Dual Speeder across more than 50 planets full of fun, danger and surprises. 


On your journey, make the most of ASTRO’s new powers and reunite with many iconic heroes from the PlayStation universe! Charge into a brand-new, supersized adventure with ASTRO

Astro Bot is a 2024 platform game developed by Team Asobi and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for the PlayStation 5 to coincide with PlayStation's 30th anniversary. 


Astro Bot is a 3D platformer where the player controls the title character, a small robot named Astro Bot, through the use of the DualSense controller


Astro's core move set is identical to previous entries, maintaining his ability to jump, hover, punch, and spin-attack, as well as being additionally granted the ability to ledge grab. The ability to swim underwater also returns from Astro Bot Rescue Mission, having been absent in Astro's Playroom.


Education:


Kids love games. And if Astro Bot is a familiar game, Christmas is the best time to play games at home.


From sandy beaches to lush jungles and piping-hot volcanoes, explore a myriad of memorable planets in search of Astro’s lost crew!


Astro Bot is pure joy. It's like fragment of childhood sealed away and suddenly uncorked. It's like jumping into a ball pit as a grown-arse adult. It's magic.


And now, time to share with you the rundown of the posts in October & November.

July in Review & Science : World AMR Awareness Week 2024

 




World AMR Awareness Week 2024

https://www.who.int/campaigns/


WAAW is celebrated from 18-24 November every year. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. It has significant impacts on human and animal health, food production and the environment.



credits: WHO


  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death. 


  • As a result of drug resistance, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective and infections become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat.






Drug-resistant-pathogens pose a threat to everyone, everywhere. Yet, much more can be done to raise public and stakeholder awareness.

Key objectives:

 

One of the key objectives of the plan is to improve awareness and understanding of AMR through effective communication, education and training.


  • Theme 2024: “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” 


The theme for the World AMR Awareness Week (WAAW) 2024 is “Educate. Advocate. Act now.” This theme was chosen based on feedback from an online survey among stakeholders from the human, animal, plant, and environmental health sectors, which collected nearly 200 responses. Globally much more can be done to raise public and stakeholder awareness.  


https://www.emro.who.int/


  • Education

Teachers can include into Science curriculum this campaign to students and motivate them to participate at the campaign following the guide to support WAAW 2024


This campaign guide offers key information and ideas on how you and your students can join and participate in the commemoration of WAAW


It serves as a resource inspiring and guiding you and your students developing activities that address the impact of AMR on our world. 


The guide includes the campaign theme, calls to action, how to participate, social media information and links to various campaign resources. 


WHO hopes it will inspire teachers and students in Science curricula to develop their own local activities. This support is crucial to the success of this campaign.







  • Activities: For young people and student groups

Reach out to policymakers with real-life AMR stories and bold statements on the need to preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials for future generations. 


Lead awareness-raising activities: 


  • Organize educational events such as : walks, talks, competitions, workshops and seminars within your communities. 


  • Raise AMR awareness in other schools and show the linkages to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), vaccines, pollution, climate change, gender equality, among other important issues. 


  • Raise awareness through social media campaigns: Share examples of advocacy work and learnings to inspire other students and schools in your country or in coordination of European schools to become AMR champions.


  • Collaborate on research projects: Engage in or support research projects that focus on finding solutions to this pressing crisis. 


And now, time to share with you the rundown of the most read posts in July.
