Biomechanics Showcase

We have identified several biomechanics topics that appeal to junior high school and high school students, exposing them to basic principles of biomechanics.  Each project has a graduate or undergraduate student champion who builds the project and then presents at local junior high and high schools during the winter term of the academic school year. 2010 was our kickoff year and we are very grateful to Oak Canyon Junior High and to Terry Hunter for their helpful and enthusiastic participation!
