Vets Count SuperPower Pack

Description

SuperPower Packs are self-guided, educational experiences for kids lacking access to in-person veterinary role models. Each SuperPower Pack contains an activity to help kids engage in veterinary careers by taking on the persona of a veterinary superhero.

The Vets Count! SuperPower pack was developed by two principals, a veterinarian, and a teacher, as a fun way to practice veterinary math superpowers. There are all different kinds of veterinarians! Veterinarians work in hospitals, on farms, in laboratories, at universities, in the military, in industry, for the government, and more. Veterinarians help keep people and many other animals healthy! One thing that all veterinarians have in common is math! In this game, children get to practice some of the ways that veterinarians use their math superpowers to help people and their animals. It even comes with an official VetaHumanz calculator, a superhero pencil, and a cape (of course). The game is designed for K-4 children with basic and advanced sets of math problems. The featured superheroes are Founding Dean KPossible!, Dr. Kimberly Braxton, and Anesthesiologist Captain Anesthesia, Dr. Tomohito Inoue. Thanks to support from NIH NIGMS SEPA and our sponsors we have given thousands of SuperPower Packs to under-resourced children who are participating in our programs.
