Campers explore how biomedical engineers use their understanding of human body systems to design solutions to address health problems. The class begins with the story of a boy who applies his understanding of Biomedical Engineering in order to design a temporary knee brace for an injured classmate. Over the course of the class, campers collect and analyze data about variations in human feet and consider how this data affect the design of running shoes. They investigate the properties of materials and brainstorm how those materials might be useful in designing a knee brace. Campers follow the steps of the Engineering Design Process to imagine, plan, create, and improve their own knee brace designs.
