Current Program
Biomedical IAT
During this 3-week virtual internship sprint, students will work in cross-university teams to develop real-world solutions for improving prosthetics design using 3D scanning and printing technologies. They’ll explore how to create accessible, low-cost medical devices such as prosthetics and cranial helmets, while addressing challenges in workflow efficiency, usability, and health equity.
Upcoming Events
Biomedical Innovate-A-thon (Accessible Bone-Infused Prosthetics for Underserved Patients).
Summer IAT: Students will develop strategies to improve access to personalized prosthetic devices using 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies. The sprint challenges students to create scalable solutions that expand the reach of life-enhancing prosthetics for underserved communities.
