Quick Facts About Our Bugs Up for Grabs 🦠🔍:

• Pseudomonas aeruginosa: This microbe is known for its striking blue or green color under the microscope!
• Escherichia coli: While some strains can cause food poisoning, most E. coli are harmless and live in your intestines, helping with digestion.
• MRSA: This germ is so resistant to antibiotics it is considered a ‘superbug’ (hence the cape!).

This competition is a fantastic way to spark interest in microbiology and science. Whether you’re a parent looking for a fun educational activity for your child or a teacher seeking engaging science content for your students, this drawing competition is the perfect opportunity.

We can’t wait to see all the creative and colorful entries! Your support and participation mean the world to us, and we look forward to sharing the wonderful artwork with our community.

Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and X (@bashthebug) for the latest news and announcements.
