"Students teams use a laparoscopic surgical trainer to perform simple laparoscopic surgery tasks (dissections, sutures) using laparoscopic tools. Just like in the operating room, where the purpose is to perform surgery carefully and quickly to minimize patient trauma, students' surgery time and mistakes are observed and recorded to quantify their performances. They learn about the engineering component of surgery. "

"Following the steps of the engineering design process and acting as biomedical engineers, student teams use everyday materials to design and develop devices and approaches to unclog blood vessels. Through this open-ended design project, they learn about the circulatory system, biomedical engineering, and conditions that lead to heart attacks and strokes."

"Ever wanted an ant farm? Ant farms are entertaining, yet educational - it's fascinating to observe the little ants as they go about their busy lives. But store-bought ant farms are often expensive, and usually limited in size. If you'd like an inexpensive, easy-to-make ant farm alternative that gives ants tons of space to lead a more natural life, then this soda bottle ant farm project is for you!"

Subtle motion happens around us all the time, including tiny vibrations caused by sound. New technology shows that we can pick up on these vibrations and actually re-create sound and conversations just from a video of a seemingly still object. But now Abe Davis takes it one step further: Watch him demo software that lets anyone interact with these hidden properties, just from a simple video.

"As a writing teacher, when I advocate for more writing and speaking in the STEM subjects, it can cue an eye roll or two. After all, why wouldn't I think that? But here, from the mouth of a mathematical physicist, comes a similar message supporting the need for a more blended pathway through our content areas."
