The Dr Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry (NMD) in Baltimore, US, has been awarded a US$1.28m (€1.2m, £1m) grant from the Science Education Partnership Award to transform how young people are taught about oral health.
Dubbed ‘A Mouthful of History’, the project aims to spark interest in young learners and inspire them to consider careers in dentistry.
It will see the creation of an educational experience that combines STEM, art and humanities topics to engage young people as well as accessible online resources to help support learning.
“Once you start inspiring children to think about dentistry and its career paths – whether it be hygienist, assistant, technician or dentist – you get them thinking about all of the health professions,” said museum executive director Richard Manski, DDS.
“That’s our goal: to increase the number of young people applying to dental school and open their minds to careers in other health professions.”
