Students gain practical experience by inventing medical treatments and devices, including 3D printing medical parts, and exploring complex biological and engineering concepts through hands-on activities.
Fairfax Collegiate Biomedical Engineering camp offers students in rising grades 7-9 a hands-on opportunity to invent medical treatments and devices. Participants will engage in activities such as extracting DNA, investigating gene therapy, examining organ systems, and developing prosthetics. The curriculum covers biochemistry, DNA, protein synthesis, gene expression, genetic engineering, human cells, tissue structure, anatomy, and medical imaging. Through a blend of guided lessons, demonstrations, and collaborative activities, students build a foundation in biomedical engineering and understand how biology, engineering, and medicine solve real-world problems. They employ scientific thinking and undergo creative challenges, leaving with a stronger understanding of modern biomedicine and the confidence to explore further STEM fields.
A typical day involves a blend of guided lessons, demonstrations, and collaborative hands-on activities, with morning sessions from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and afternoon sessions from 12:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students (rising grades 7-9) who are curious about how biology, engineering, and medicine intersect to solve real-world problems and are eager for hands-on challenges.
