Exploring the past: a kid-friendly journey through the history of medicine

The project to create an educational timeline of medicines for kids was commissioned by ABPI Schools with a clear vision in mind: to inspire young minds and cultivate a deeper understanding of the history and evolution of medicines. Recognising the importance of fostering scientific literacy and curiosity from an early age, ABPI Schools sought to develop an engaging and informative resource that would complement classroom learning and spark a lifelong interest in healthcare and science among children. With this ambitious goal in mind, our team embarked on a collaborative journey to craft a timeline that would captivate, educate, and inspire the next generation of thinkers, innovators, and healers.

First, we began the process of conceptualisation and storyboarding. We mapped out key milestones and developments in the history of medicines, identifying themes and narratives that would resonate with young audiences. Custom illustrations were envisioned to complement each era, depicting scenes of ancient healers, medieval apothecaries, and modern healthcare settings.

The heart of our timeline lay in its illustrations, meticulously crafted to captivate and educate. Our in-house designers brought our concepts to life, infusing each illustration with the ABPI Schools brand colours, rich details, and historical accuracy. From the ancient murals to the advanced equipment of today, every illustration was crafted to spark curiosity and imagination in young minds. As the illustrations took shape, so did our timeline. We carefully arranged each panel and artefact, weaving together a cohesive narrative that flowed seamlessly from prehistoric remedies to modern medicine.

Throughout the process, we sought feedback from the client and educators. Their input guided our decisions and drove continuous improvement. We iterated on the content and design, ensuring that the final product met the highest standards of quality and educational efficacy.

Upon completion, our timeline was delivered to ABPI Schools with great anticipation. Its debut in classrooms and educational settings sparked excitement and curiosity among students and teachers alike. The creation of our educational timeline was a labour of love and collaboration. From planning and conceptualisation to illustration and delivery, every step was guided by a shared commitment to excellence and innovation. As we reflect on the project, we are inspired by the transformative power of education to ignite curiosity, broaden horizons, and shape the future of healthcare for generations to come.
