"Heart Sounds" by GenBioOrg

Abstract

In this Hands-On Exhibit we will teach the kids about the basic physiology of the human heart and why and how the heart sounds are produced. We will use animations and heart sounds samples to teach the kids how these sounds can help physicians to diagnose heart diseases. In general, the kids will learn about basic anatomy and physiology of the heart and importance of heart sounds in health and diseases.

Founded in 2006, GenBioOrg was established to help provide academic, educational, and social cohesiveness for Genetic, Bioinformatics and Computational Biology graduate students. The group works to promote the program and field of study to the Virginia Tech community by inviting external speakers to give campus-wide seminars at the university and by participating in outreach activities such as KTU.
