Meet our Covid Warriors

Artistic students have been getting creative by designing COVID-19 Warriors as part of our work supporting schools that are taking part in the saliva project.

Young people were set the challenge of coming up with an imaginative character who could battle the virus using their superpowers and defeat COVID-19. We got an overwhelming response with more than 170 students submitting their ideas.

The project team will be using some of the designs to create a team of COVID-19 Warriors to help us all defeat the virus and make good choices. Our team of Superheroes will have capes, masks and a toolbelt containing all the items they need to stay safe – just like in these brilliant designs.

The characters will then be used as part of the teaching programme we will be delivering to more young people as the programme expands.

Along with the examples below, we have also put together a collage of all the entries which is available by following this link:
