 Now You Try…
O How do you think you O What materials
can bioengineer a would you use?
hand to model O How would you put it
regular motions? together?
 My Main Takeaways
O So many resources O HASPI provides a
are available to free network of
incorporate supportive
health/science colleagues and
curriculum materials
lessons
O More conferences =
O Students understand more opportunities
value of content for our students to
when it ties back to engage in cool
real life scenarios activities
and applications
