Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) will be exhibiting on April 10th!

Exhibit Title: “What are your human factors?

Kids will learn how vital our senses really are. They will participate in activities, but they will be wearing gloves, blindfolded, or performing mental and physical tasks concurrently. We hope these activities are enjoyable as well as instructive as to how we depend on our eyes, sense of touch, as well as how difficult it is to perform tasks that stress different parts of our bodies (i.e. mind versus muscle strength).

A bit about our organization:
Our mission is to promote discovery and exchange of knowledge concerning the characteristics of human beings that are applicable to the design of systems and devices of all kinds. The purpose of our society is to promote and advance the understanding of human factors involved in the design, manufacture, and use of machines, systems, and devices of all kinds through the exchange of knowledge and methodology in the behavioral, biological, and physical sciences. We are planning to have lab visits, community outreach, social events, and a speaker series to promote our organization.
