We are pleased to invite you and your students to attend National Biomechanics Day at Penn State Berks on Thursday, April 6, 2017. This event is designed for high school students interested in science and engineering and, particularly, their applications to human movement. The event consists of workshops conducted by Penn State Berks faculty, staff, and research students. The workshops will include interactive laboratory activities, school and career information and time for questions. The workshop locations include our Motion Capture Lab, new Fluids Lab, Cadaver Lab, and 3D Printer workspace.
The event can accommodate approximately 15-20 students and chaperone(s) from each school. If you have additional students who would like to attend, please let us know and we will accommodate them if space is available. Chaperones can be a teacher, guidance counselor, or parent. The program will run from 10:30 am 2:00 pm. Please let us know if your school needs to leave early.
There will be no cost for attending the event. Students and chaperones should bring a bagged lunch with them and we will supply snacks and drinks to the students. Additionally, the cybercafé will be open to purchase sandwiches and other lunch items.
Please let us know if your school will be attending and how many students and chaperones you will be bringing by March 17, 2017. Please send another email with your official attendance numbers even if you have previously communicated with me. We will send additional details about the event after that date.
Please contact Joe Mahoney at jmm694@psu.edu with questions and your school’s “reservation.” Feel free forward this information to your colleagues that may be interested that were not on our distribution list.
We hope that you will be able to join us this year!
