Health Hive turns 1 🎉
One year ago, we launched Health Hive at Australian Parliament House with the goal of supporting young people to meaningfully engage in public health research and advocacy.
Since then, we've welcomed more than 1,450 learners from 66 countries 🌏
We recently celebrated this milestone at the BIOTech Futures Symposium at the University of Sydney, where we connected with high school students and learned about their inspiring projects.
Next up: our one-year evaluation. The findings will help inform the next phase of Health Hive. Watch this space! đź‘€
