Biomedical Sciences
In Biomedical Innovations, we had Jacob Hull, a product designer come and advise students on prototypes that they are building for their latest in-class mission. Students will build and test their prototypes in the Mad Makerspace, come up with a marketing strategy, and present them on Tuesday, Feb 8th at 8:30 AM in Room C-10. All are welcomed to attend the presentations.
In Human Body Systems, students learned the structures and functions of the eye by dissecting a cow's eye in class. Pictures attached. Only three students and one binder were squirted with eye juice during the dissections.
