We want to give a big shout out to our very own graduate researcher, Ferdous Finklea, for her success in planning and executing the 2nd annual GRAND Engineering Showcase alongside the Auburn Engineering K-12 student services coordinator! We had a great time showing K-6 students how much fun engineering can be and how we as engineers can help solve critical problems facing our world.
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.
