Stem Cells
Students learn how stem cells are involved in regeneration. Students play our STEMinator card game to learn all about different kinds of stem cells that are in the body.
The Musculoskeletal System
Students learn about bones, muscles, tendons, and how doctors currently treat damage to these tissues. Students construct a model hand and act as surgeons to fix a tendon using a Biomedical Engineering Kit.
The Circulatory System
Students learn about blood vessels, blood flow through the heart, and medical conditions that can affect the circulatory system. Students play a “Guess Who”-style game to develop an awareness of how medical devices are designed to treat diseases of the circulatory system.
The Brain
Students learn how nerves send and receive messages, and the causes of Parkinson’s disease. Students build medical devices to treat Parkinson’s disease and test the devices on jelly “brains”.
Biomaterials
Students learn about medical devices, and natural and synthetic sources of biomaterials. Students play a card game to put the development of medical devices into context with historical events.
