Public engagement resources
Here we hope to create a space for researchers to share their EVucational tools with the wider EV community. If you have anything that you wish to highlight then please email us at info@ukev.org.uk

Word search and colouring book
For the younger scientists, two lovely resources to learn about EVs. See the colouring in and word search made by Charlotte Boyd, PhD student at the Peake EV lab, Sheffield Hallam University
Dr Rachel Crossland from Newcastle University created the “Sciencey colouring and Join the EVs” colouring book.

EV animations
As part of his final year BSc Biomedical Sciences project with the Carter-Pink group at Oxford Brooks University, Niall Early has been using his bioscience animation skills from where he is also Scientific Art Director at Fusion Medical Animation, to make a set of open source EV visuals licensed under creative commons to freely use for education. The still images can be downloaded from here. The video version with subtitles is here.

3DEV: the open-source EV 3D model
by Dr Christian Burton, Cardiff University. Each of the printable elements has a summary sheet with some information about the molecule, and a 3D PDF to help traditional 2D representations come alive. We welcome submissions of your model to be added into the set.
If you do not have access to modelling software or a 3D printer, contact us (web@ukev.org.uk) and we will be happy to help.

Virtual Reality: EVs – the cells’ secret messengers
Supported by ISEV, Prof Dave Carter (Oxford Brookes University) and Prof Edit Buzas (Semmelweis University) have been working with Arkitek and have created a VR experience to highlight the basis of EVs and their benefits. With this, you can pan around a 360 degree virtual cell and watch a narrated six minute video on how EVs are made and function. This can be viewed with a full VR unit or a module phone with a cheap VR holder (we use the VR shinecon £23) by using the Youtube vide below.

EVucation
- ‘Exosome Monsters’ – Key Stage 0, ages 3-5
- ‘Squishy Blood’ – Key Stage 1-2, ages 6-11.
- ‘Exosome health scanner’ – Key stage 2+, ages 8 – adults
Three different EV related activities for the different School key stages. For the artworks click here and the Exosome health scanner software (PC only) download here. If you want to suggest changes to this python programme can use the github version here

EVucation.info
To build the engagement of EVs for the understanding of all of society some of the undergraduates on BSc Biomedical Science degrees have been basing their final year projects on public engagement of EVs. Helen Onwuzuruoha came to UKEVforum 2018 and interviewed the speakers which is to be made into a podcast, but the transcripts were used by Natalie Kong to create this website. The hope is to build on this with other students and across universities to release the full podcasts and develop the website.
