Outreach at the GRAND Engineering Showcase

Lipke Lab graduate researchers volunteered at the 2nd annual GRAND Engineering Showcase to educate K-6 students and their families about the National Academy of Engineering grand challenges! We showed attendees how we can use hydrogels and tissue engineering to engineer better medicines. We also showed students how our hearts pump using real porcine hearts! It is safe to say they had a great time and learned a bunch at the Lipke Lab station.

Iman and Mohammad taught students about how we can use hydrogels to engineer better medicines.
Morgan taught students (and a very special tiger) about how our hearts work using a real porcine heart!
K-6 students and their families had a blast and learned a lot at the Lipke Lab station!
