Duke Youth Programs: Biosciences and Engineering Summer Program

TechXcite

March 03, 2010 by Paul Klenk

Duke Youth Programs and the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University have teamed up over the past 4 years to provide middle school students with a 2 week, residential Biosciences and Enginering Summer Camp. This program has been the initial testing program for the TechXcite BioMedTech modules Bionic Arm and BioImaging. These two out-of-school curricular modules have since been used in 18 counties and 28 after-school programs throughout NC. TechXcite is continuing to expand the use of Bionic Arm to 4-H Supported After-School Programs in West Virgina and California this spring.
