Bridging Engineering and Biology -- VT-WFU Biomedical Engineering Society


Engineers play a key role in the advancement of medicine and health sciences. We explore various aspects of biomedical engineering at this booth and learn how researchers are applying engineering principles to the human body to advance medicine.

The Virginia Tech-Wake Forest University Biomedical Engineering Society (VT-WFU BMES) club is a unique way for students to become involved in outreach projects, research collaborations, and social events with other biomedical engineering students, faculty, staff, and industry.

Games:
- Booth with 'myplate' activity~ we will have plates and different cut outs of foods and let kids 'make their own plates' to see if they can make a healthy meal! We will then explain what happens when we eat these foods- what goes on inside the body!
- 'Is this healthy?' Ask kids a series of questions and let them decide if it is a healthy food option!
- 'What your body needs'- why your body need fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy, and grains! (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/body/nutrients-body-needs.html)
