Storytelling RoomExplore how technology is changing healthcare! Ages 7-12. Registration required.
What does the future of medicine look like? Explore the exciting ways technology is changing healthcare in this interactive, hands-on workshop! From bionic limbs and tiny cameras that travel through the body to 3D-printed casts and laser eye surgery, students will learn how innovative tools and technology are helping doctors diagnose conditions, treat patients, and improve lives.
Participants will explore a variety of medical technologies through an engaging presentation followed by interactive activities. Along the way, they'll have opportunities to ask questions, work together, and discover how fields like medicine, robotics, and computer science come together to solve real-world challenges.
This pilot workshop is part of MedAI, a Girl Scout Gold Award project created by Sneha Wadehra, an 11th-grade student at Collierville High School. Inspired by her interests in medicine and computer science, Sneha hopes to spark curiosity and encourage the next generation of healthcare and technology innovators.
Join us on Saturday, December 12, from 3:00–4:00 p.m. in the Library! For ages 7–12. Registration is required.
