Get a glimpse of what medical students learn about the human body at the most fundamental level.

Saturday, April 8: 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.

Kit Cost: $65

STEAM Saturday Mini Med School will provide attendees with a glimpse of what medical students learn about the human body at the most fundamental level.The course has been designed to encourage middle school aged students to consider an educational pathway to the medical fields by giving learners an introspective look at all 11 systems of the human body.

这半天,动手learning opportunity involves brief lectures followed by interactive sessions that include dissecting of the anatomy and testing the physiology in laboratory and clinical scenarios at a world-class medical simulation center.

The course will also motivate learners to take an introspective look at their own health by using clinical tools and real human and animal specimens to discover what’s happening in their own body to understand the importance of making healthy choices.

Registration closes 4/5/2023. For more information, contactevents@jumpsimulation.orgor call (309) 677-0810

So you think you’ve seen it all?!

Did you know that of the 100 TRILLION cells living on or inside of your body, only 10 trillion of these are human?! That’s right. The remaining “universe’ of microscopic cells are bacteria, parasites, fungi or even other animals. Can you believe your body carries more living creatures than there are humans on the entire planet earth? Well, seeing is believing. And a microscope is a simple and fun tool you can use to look at the invisible bits of life in the world that surround you all the time.

Microscopy 101: An introduction to microscopy

This section discusses the basic knowledge and study of microscopy. In this course, you’ll learn about your microscope and its individual parts, how it works and we’ll show you how to organize your home lab. Then you’ll use the scientific method to setup your discovery notebook for exploration of possible career paths.
