Recently, Devin, Carol, and I helped with the UNH KEEPERS Camp “Biomedical Engineering” Day. The children were able to have tours of Professor Wayne Smith’s lab, build simple parallel and series circuits, and create their own “Operation”-style board games. The picture below is of me and a student displaying his “Operation” game. It was great witnessing children being exposed to the fields of eletrical and biomedical engineering at such a young age, and they all seemed very interested and intrigued by the science behind the technology they use in their day-to-day lives. I hope every participant will further their understanding of engineering and pursue an education in the field.
